Advent 2 – Ghost of Christmas Past
Scrooge was warned by Marley that a spirit will come to Scrooge at 1 p. m. The childlike spirit (that seemed too old at the same time), told Scrooge that he was the Ghost of Christmas Past. The Spirit causes Scrooge to fly. They exited throughout the window. The ghost transports Scrooge to the countryside where Scrooge grew-up. “I was bred in this place. I was a boy here."He sees his old school, his childhood mates. . The Spirit informs Scrooge; “These are but shadows of the things that have been."
In our own lives as we celebrate Christmas, it is also a recollection of memories of Christmas past. Sometimes the memories are fondly remembered; other memories bring sadness.
Sometimes the past memories of Christmas are buried. Observed the Ghost, "Strange to have forgotten it for so many years." "The school is not quite deserted," said the Ghost. "A solitary child, neglected by his friends, is left there still" to celebrate Christmas on his own. It is the young Scrooge, left on his own during the Christmas holidays. Touched by these memories, Scrooge begins to sob.
As we celebrate Christmas, let us pray that as we remember our own past, there is someone who is there to help us along the journey. Let us also pray, that when others are experiencing the loneliness of this Christmas that we can be there for them
