First Sunday of Advent





November 29, 2015
First Sunday of Advent

This weekend we begin a new year in the Church.  We say goodbye to the past year we look with anticipation and excitement at the new year in our faith, the Year of Mercy!
As we start this new year with the beginning of Advent, let us all be attentive to the signs of God’s presence in our lives.  We ask ourselves, how do we live so that we are prepared and ready to embrace the coming of the Lord?  Listen to the words of Paul, who tells us to conduct ourselves in a way pleasing to God.  The best way to do that is to get ready for the coming of the Lord by acting as if he were already here. (The truth is, He is!)                              - Deacon Jim
