Fr. Sam French reflects on the season of Advent, emphasizing its spiritual significance in our fast-paced, internet-driven world. He contrasts the immediacy of modern life with the patient waiting inherent in Advent, drawing a parallel between our dwindling patience in the face of rapid technological advancements and the ancient tradition of anticipating Christ's coming. Fr. Sam highlights the importance of embracing this period of watchful waiting, as taught in Christian tradition, and the relevance of Advent in reminding us of the virtues of patience and attentiveness. He offers practical advice for the Advent season, urging listeners to engage in daily Scripture reading and to seek moments of silence amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. This homily invites us to step back from our constant connectivity and to prepare our hearts and minds for the celebration of Christmas, focusing on spiritual readiness and the anticipation of Christ's Second Coming.
