In Advent we remember the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We remember His coming at the Incarnation. And, we keep before us a living remembrance of His Second and final coming when all souls will go before Him. In the Gospel of St. Luke 21, Jesus teaches His paramount teaching on both the signs to watch for regarding His Second Coming and how to prepare for that day. Today, we heed His teaching and seek to live the life of His bride who prepares herself for the coming of the Bridegroom.
