“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End”

Soon in the last week of November, we will be entering the Advent Season, the season where we will be preparing ourselves to make a way to celebrate the Birth of our Lord, on Christmas Day. As we listen to the voice of St. John the Baptist asking us to repent, come back and make a way for the Lord, let us ponder on the great I AM, who is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End as we mediate on the A – Z who is everything in between.
