At the beginning of the Advent season, Pope Francis invited us to "get on the road", for which he proposed 3 attitudes. "It is a time to walk and go to meet the Lord, that is, a time not to stand," he explained. But, "what are the attitudes I must have to find the Lord? How should I prepare my heart to find the Lord? " "In the prayer at the beginning of the Mass, the liturgy indicates 3 attitudes: vigilantes in prayer, workers in charity and exultants in blessing. That is to say, I must pray, with vigilance; I must be a worker in charity - fraternal charity: not only give alms, no; also tolerate people who bother me, tolerate children at home when they make too much noise, or the husband or wife when they are in difficulty, or the mother-in-law. ""Tolerate, always with charity but active", and also "the joy of blessing the Lord". "So we must live this way, this will to find the Lord," he said.
"The Lord always goes further, He goes first. We take a step and He gives ten. Forever. The abundance of his grace, of his love, of his tenderness that never tires of looking for us. Also sometimes with small things, "he added. In short, God "is not looking for us, he is waiting for us, and he only asks us for the small step of good will". However, the Christian must have "the desire to find him" and then He "helps" us. Thus, "he will accompany us during our life", he assured.
