First Sunday of Advent
-
November 29, 2020Today we transition to year B in the Sunday lectionary and Week 1 of the weekday cycle. The evangelist for this new year is the Gospel of Mark. As many are using personal prayer books and the Divine Office books at home, be sure to note these changes.
Did you know the First Sunday of Advent is the Churches official “New Year’s Day?” Today’s reading from the Gospel suggests a good New Year’s resolution: develop one good habit for keeping alert to God’s saving action.
Growth in our spiritual life depends not on occasional inspirations and good feelings but on good Catholic practices that see us through the hard times. What would that be during these changing, challenging, and difficult times for you, your family, and our parish?
May the Holy Spirit and the patron saints of the season: Isaiah and the prophets, John the Baptist, and Our Lady, lead us to find God at work, present, and find us ready to accept Him. Be Bold Be Holy be Catholic.
