Date: December 18, 2005Sometimes we can be our major obstacle in preparing the way for the Lord. We have so many expectations about how certain people should behave, most especially priests and the Church in general. We put too much emphasis on these expectations and when they are not met we get upset and hurt. God has no responsability to fulfill our expecations; we, on the other hand, want to surrender these to Him and enjoy His love as it erupts unexpectedly in our lives.
