"The days are coming, says the Lord, when I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and Judah....... In those days Judah shall be safe and Jerusalem shall dwell secure; this is what they shall call her: “The Lord our justice.” (Jeremiah 33: 14.... 16).
Sunday 28th November 2021, is First Sunday of Advent.
What is Advent? Advent is a period of waiting and expectation for a big event. Advent is the Season we wait for the Coming of the Lord. We wait for two Comings of Jesus: The first Coming of Jesus as a poor child born in a Manger in Bethlehem. This has happened. We celebrate the feast every year at Christmas. The second Coming is His Coming in majesty at the end of the ages to judge the world. When Jesus comes again in glory and majesty and we who watch for that day may inherit the great promise
in which now we dare to hope, teaches the Church.
How do we wait? "Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come." (Mark 13: 33).
In order to be fully awake and take full advantage of all the blessings that God has prepared for us this Advent, we need an Advent Plan.
Your Advent may just be more of your daily devotions:
Prayer, Word of God, Eucharist, Adoration, Penance, etc.
“Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap."
Lord Jesus, we are Your people and Your inheritance. Save us in Your mercy.
