God created man on the sixth day, a day that God called very good. However, sin with all its fear and anxiety entered and separated man from God but in that separation God’s love promised that someday salvation (healing) would come to restore right relationship between God and mankind. This pattern of sin leading to suffering leading to healing (right relationship) can be seen throughout the Old Testament as the Holy Spirit prepares mankind for the coming of Christ. It is Christ who would gather us together again into a single community in right relationship with the God of Love. Our Entrance song or Antiphon at every mass celebrates that relationship. During Advent, the time of preparation for the coming of the Lord, we reflect on God’s love by beginning our Mass singing especially loudly, grateful to be invited into the Presence of the Lord.
