As the Church begins a new liturgical year, Fr. Miguel reflects on the true meaning of Advent: preparation for the coming of Christ. Not speculation, not fear—readiness. Drawing from St. Paul’s exhortation to “throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light,” he explains the practical path toward holiness: Confession, the Eucharist, good habits, Eucharistic adoration, and choosing virtue over vice.
Fr. Miguel also addresses the modern struggle with technology and screens, showing how we can either use them for darkness or for light. With clarity and hope, he reminds us that though no one knows the hour of the Lord’s return, each of us is called to live ready—hearts awakened, souls prepared, lives oriented toward Christ.
A powerful message to begin a fruitful, holy Advent.
