LET US WALK IN THE LIGHT OF THE LORD
This Sunday we enter into the beautiful season of Advent. Our attitude at this time is one of watching and waiting, and the graces to pray for are joy and hope. Our weary world is in so much need of this spirit, and of the light and peace of the coming Christ.
Jesus tells us in the Gospel to stay awake – we must not become so engrossed in our daily lives that we are unprepared when the Lord comes. Let us renew our spirit of joyful hope this week. We also place the needs of our world before Jesus as we prepare for his coming.
