1st Sun Advent 2013 Year A 2013 Isaiah 2:1-5; Romans 13:11-14; Matthew 24:37-44 This week we enter into the great season of Advent. Our first reading from the prophet Isaiah describes how every nation streams towards Gods holy mountain. As you enter the Advent season, think about this holy mountain. Is the mountain of the Lord higher than every other mountain for you? Do you stream toward it with your whole being? In the Gospel, the following is clear; There will be signs in the . . .(heavens). . .and upon the earth, distress of nations. . .they will see the Son of Man coming. . .lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand On His second Advent at the end of the world Jesus will come in the fullness of Divine Power. Then will we be obliged to accept Him as King of Justice. So today let us begin to prepare for this years anniversary of His first Advent as King of Mercy. From the Second reading, we are warned to rise from sleep,. . .lay aside the works of darkness. . .and put on he Lord Jesus Christ. Aware of the dangers ahead during this preparation, we call upon His power to protect us (Prayer) and to cleanse us (Secret). Finally, we promise to prepare with due reverence for the coming festival this should be reflected in our Post-communion life. WISHING YOU A BLESSED EVENING.
