After assisting at a large funeral today the word 'commit' just keeps bringing me back to 'committal', which is part of the funeral service. Being involved as a minister in a funeral you're making a commitment to the family and loved ones to walk beside them in their grief. This will be a very different Christmas for that family, and others like them.
In Advent, reflect on a commitment you are considering accepting, or a commitment that needs renewing. In building the house of your life on the rock of God’s committed love, you may discover that you are called to commit; that you cannot claim the Life that God desires for you without it.
