1st Sunday of Advent (A)

Short Reflection for the 1st Sunday of Advent (A)

ADVENT is a season of joyful expectation for the coming of the Lord celebrated at Christmas. Three characteristics should mark our Advent celebration – (1) “make straight our crooked ways”; (2) “allow ourselves to be taught by God”; and (3) Do Good to other and Do NO harm both to neighbours and environment.

Readings: Isaiah 2.1-5; Romans 13.11-14; and Matthew 24.37-44.

Selected Passage: “Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come”. (Matthew 24: 42)

Meditation: The Lord comes and goes through our life but often we miss his coming and going. Our celebration of Advent is to stay awake and be attentive and sensitive to the Lord’s coming into our lives daily else we miss meeting the Lord. Cf. www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
