Preparing the Heart
"Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him."
— Mark 1:3
Heavenly Father,
John the Baptist called us to prepare the way. Today again, I am invited to prepare my heart to welcome You.
What clutters my heart? What stones must be removed, what crooked paths straightened? Help me identify what prevents You from entering.
May I do this work of preparation. Not out of obligation but out of desire to receive You fully. Prepare my heart, Lord.
Amen.

Reflection
What clutters your heart and prevents God from fully entering? How can you make room?
For all those preparing their hearts to welcome the Lord.
