As we enter the first week of Advent, we reflect on its true meaning: preparing for the three comings of Christ—His coming in history at Christmas, His coming in mystery in our daily lives, and His coming in majesty at the end of time.
In this homily, Fr. Martin invites us to “Stay Awake, Be Ready” by embracing three spiritual practices: coming to Mass weekly, going to confession regularly, and preparing our hearts daily. Advent calls us to awaken spiritually, reconnect with the Body of Christ, cast off the works of darkness, and ready our souls for the Lord who comes to us in history, mystery, and majesty.
