And Someone Said:

"Prepare a way for the Lord by living a good life and guard that way by good works. Let the Word of God move in you unhindered and give you a knowledge of His coming and of His mysteries."

Origin (183-253)

"To wait open-endedly is an enormously radical attitude toward life. So is to trust that something will happen to us that is far beyond our imagining."

Henri J.M. Nouwen (1932-1996)

A prayer:

Father, in the wilderness of the Jordan You sent a messenger to prepare people's hearts for the coming of Your Son. Help me to hear His words and repent of my sins, so that I may clearly see the way to walk, the truth to speak, and the life to live for Him, our Lord, Jesus Christ.
