This week we enter into the Season of Advent, a season full of watchful waiting, a season of anticipation and hope. Our culture tells us we should already be focused on Christmas, and there’s nothing wrong with decorating our homes, buying gifts, baking cookies, and sending cards, but what about focusing on the season of Advent at the same time? The end will come, whether we’re ready or not… the end of Advent, the end of our lives, the end of time. So, as we wait for Christmas day to come, let’s ask ourselves: are our hearts and minds really ready for the arrival of our Savior? Or should we spend a portion our time preparing for the Christmas holiday, actually preparing ourselves to receive the Child Jesus with joy?
This week's readings:
Gospel - Luke 21: 25-28, 34-36
1st Reading - Jeremiah 33: 14-16
