"Seek the Light, Be the Light"
Spiritual Reflections
|
|
By Scott Root, Campus Minister
Gospel for Sunday, December 3, 2017 – The First Sunday in Advent
Jesus said to his disciples: "Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come. It is like a man traveling abroad. He leaves home and places his servants in charge, each with his own work, and orders the gatekeeper to be on the watch. Watch, therefore; you do not know when the Lord of the house is coming, whether in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning. May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to all: Watch!"
--Mark 13:33-37
Reflection
Watch! The Gospel today contains a warning for all of us--to be prepared for the coming of the
Master. In the Advent season, we are in the hustle and bustle of preparations for Christmas. During all the gift buying, party going, and meal preparation, are we also preparing for an encounter with Christ? In Advent and Christmas, we celebrate three comings of Jesus into the world. We celebrate his birth 2,000 years ago in the stable. We celebrate his coming into our hearts, minds, and souls through the grace of our Baptism. Finally, we look forward to and prepare for his second coming. Are we watchful? Are we prepared? Are we responding to God’s call in our life by praying, by participating in the sacraments, and by acts of charity? As we prepare and clean our houses for holiday visitors, let us also clean our souls by participating in Reconciliation this Advent and by being watchful through prayer for the coming of Jesus into our lives.

Saint of the Week--
St. Nicholas (December 6)
The absence of “hard historical facts” is not necessarily an obstacle to the popularity of saints, as the devotion to St. Nicholas shows. Both the Eastern and Western Churches honor him, and it is claimed that after the Blessed Virgin, he is the saint most pictured by Christian artists.
|
|
Prayer for the Week
Grant your faithful, we pray, almighty God,
the resolve to run forth to meet your Christ with righteous deeds at his coming,
so that, gathered at his right hand,
they may be worthy to possess the heavenly kingdom.
