My sacred space is America's local food diner.
It is sacred for me because Advent invites us on a journey to renew our faith in Jesus. Family tradition leads many of us to travel American highways. Oftentimes, we seek to refuel our cars and eat our favorite comfort food at a local food diner. Whether near or far away from home, eating at any American diner can remind us we are waiting for Jesus at Christmas. Sitting among friends or strangers can be a moment when Catholics, Christians and peoples of the world are invited to renew their resolve for personal and world peace. Let us consider how any American diner is sacred space during our common Advent journey.
