The central point of the
parable (MK 13: 33-37) reflects the motto: “Be prepared! And Stay Awake!”
The next four Sundays we will be
celebrating Advent. Advent is the season of hope, and the season of
repentance. During this season of Advent we are to prepare for the coming of
Jesus and how do we prepare, we repent! Jesus tells us to watch, to wait for He
is coming.
Jesus is coming
into the world. Jesus is coming at the end of time. He is coming as a babe born
in the manger. He is coming to us through the word and sacraments. He is
coming!
This season of
Advent reminds us again of the great love God has for us through His Son. That
love changes us, and bring hope into our lives.
When Jesus
comes lives change. When Jesus comes heart change. When Jesus comes the world
around us seems more hopeful.
Let us prepare
ourselves to meet with him through prayer. “Lord make us turn to you; let us
see your face and we shall be saved,” (Psalm 80).
Have a Blessed Advent!
Have a Blessed Advent!
