What does God’s tell us this Sunday? 1st Sunday of the Advent

For this first Sunday of Advent, St. Matthew invites us in his Gospel to live vigilant, awake and prepared for when the Lord returns. Saint Paul, in his letter to the Romans, also exhorts us to prepare for the arrival of the "Day of the Lord" because our salvation is ever near... and, the prophet Isaiah reminds us that the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, will be the Arbiter of the nations and the Judge of all peoples... it is necessary to walk illuminated by the light of his truth.

Let us be prepared to be able to "receive the promised goods that now, in vigilant waiting, we hope to obtain."

Let us not tire of asking: COME, LORD JESUS!
