Father Michael's Thoughts this week
WEEKLY THOUGHTS FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT NOV. 28th NOVEMBER2021.
Dear friends, welcome to the celebration of the First Sunday of the Advent Season of this Liturgical cycle C. The Advent Season prepares us to celebrate the first coming and birth of Jesus on earth. The four weeks of Advent is a time of holy waiting for Jesus has died, Jesus has risen and Jesus will come again at the end of age to reward us with eternal life.
The Advent Season has symbols as displayed in our midst: The Advent banners and Wreath resonate to us the spirit of this Season. It is basically to search and look for Jesus our Savior. He is the source of true joy, hope and Salvation as announced by the prophets.
Every individual is called upon for a spiritual preparation to make the way for Jesus to enter into our life. We can take effort to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation as well as time to read, reflect and pray over the daily Readings offered to us in the print and electronic media.
The Biblical texts given to us daily are basic food for our Spiritual nourishment as we prepare for Christmas 2021. This will lead us to feel the reality and presence of the Word made flesh that dwells among us.
The Gospel Reading of the Sunday; Luke 21:25-28, 34-36 Jesus continue to assure his followers that our redemption is at hand at his second coming. Jesus had cautioned us to be vigilant waiting for his second coming despite the suffering and persecution endured by his followers. It is the way of Jesus- the way of the cross.
Jesus will bring salvation, forgiveness, healing and new life at his second coming. Let us pray during this Advent time that our lives may be directed to Jesus despite the fears and confusion, let Jesus be our hope, life and resurrection; “I am the resurrection, and the life. He, who believes in me, though he is dead, shall live.”
Have a great Advent Time.
