November 27, 2022: First Sunday of Advent

Happy Advent! Happy (Liturgical) New Year!

In a spirit similar to our recent celebration of Jesus Christ the King, Who rules over all time and space, we reflect on His coming again at the End of Time.

Jesus makes clear we don't know when that Second Coming will happen, so we must live in a state of readiness.  We realize our salvation is coming nearer and nearer, so we throw off the works of darkness and walk in the Light that is already ours because Christ came into the world in the Incarnation.

We walk in His light, centering our lives on Him and being present to Him Who has made Himself present to us, as symbolized of Mount Zion rising above all other heights, a focus point for God's presence among us.  In so doing, may we be transformed to always walk in that light, living in a state of peace deep down, and living in a way that reflects that Light in all we do, being ready to welcome Him as He comes to us now.
