Advent starts a new liturgical year inviting us to deepen our spiritual perspectives and closeness with God. Advent can be a season of healing through deeper awareness that the Child Jesus desires to be born anew in us once again. Advent is an opportunity to renew our commitment to Christ as Lord of our life.
In preparing for Christmas we have four weeks in Advent season to reset our spiritual life. We worry about the sin of others rather than our own sin.With Christ, we can live in safety, grow in holiness and be prepared for the Christmas. Advent is considered a penitential time with an opportunity to turn away from any darkness of sins in our lives. It is the coming of Christ as the light of the world that dispels our darkness of sins.
Advent gives us a fresh start and we shall use the season wisely.Silence, prayer, Eucharist, Confession and reading the scripturecan lead us to inner healing. Let us prepare well that our joy may be complete when we receive our newborn King, and celebrate His birth on Christmas Day.
“To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul,” (Ps 25).
