Patience has never been our best thing. We are constantly in a hurry, wanting things to happen immediately if not sooner! Advent can be a struggle for me since Advent is all about patience, longing, and anticipation.
But what are we waiting for? In today's first reading, Isaiah tells of the kingdom for which we await. It is a kingdom where our needs are not just met, they're exceeded. God does not just sate our hunger and thirst. He gives us fine food and choicest wine. God's kingdom is a place where all experience the healing and compassion that will soothe our hearts and minds. Every time we meet the needs of our brothers and sisters or offer them healing and hope, we offer a preview of the kingdom of God where sadness and need no longer exist.
Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), a media platform of the Catholic Church, aims to share Christ. RVA started in 1969 as a continental Catholic radio station to serve Asian countries in their respective local language, thus earning the tag “the Voice of Asian Christianity.” Responding to the emerging context, RVA embraced media platforms to connect with the global Asian audience via its 21 language websites and various social media platforms.
