Today is the second Sunday in Advent. This is the one focused on preparation.
Making yourself ready for the birth of the Saviour. Whatever it is that you need to do to make room for welcoming the baby, the spirit of God; that’s what this week is about.

So today’s music is “Praeparate corda vestra”, written in the 16th
Century by one Jacobus Gallus Handl. The words tell us:
“Prepare your hearts for the Lord and serve Him only
And He will save you from the hands of your enemies.
Turn to Him with all your hearts
And banish strange gods from your midst.”
And it’s sung by the Benedictines of Mary, which seems
appropriate.
