Unfortunately, over the past four years, our country has been manufacturing more of these people who show up at our door, in our world, asking to be welcomed, asking to be allowed some human dignity, asking for a little peace and justice. So, we have an even bigger job than usual in trying to shape the world we live in to look a little bit more like one Jesus will recognize when he knocks on our door.
The hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the sick, the imprisoned—Jesus is all around us. Our job isn’t to figure out how to impress him when he comes at some future awe-inspiring apocalypse. According to St. Benedict, according to our Gospel for this morning, our job is to wait at the door and welcome him right now in the sometimes dark moment we live in.
