For Sunday · December 6, 2026
Prepare a straight path
Repentance is more than feeling bad, and it is not a performance of shame. It is a turn toward God that changes the path beneath our feet. During Advent, look for one obstacle that makes love harder in your household: an apology delayed, a responsibility avoided or a pattern of speaking that closes another person down. Name it without excuses, then choose one repair you can begin. We do not prepare Christ’s way by making ourselves look perfect. We prepare it by letting grace make our next step more honest and open.
