The Gospel for Advent 1, the first Sunday in a new Christian year, is from Luke 21:25-33. This selection points us to the themes related to Christ coming into the world in various ways. Advent is a time to emphasize spiritual and moral preparation for His arrival. It is a reminder of our constant need for renewed dedication to our faith in Christ.
As we move through Advent, one important reminder is to look to Holy Scripture. In Luke 21:33, Jesus says, "Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away." Our Lord and the Apostles repeatedly warn us that this world is temporary and will pass away. Ultimately, the only things that are dependable are God, His Word, and His heavenly Kingdom. May we be open to learning from God's Word and respond in faith throughout Advent and all the days of our lives!
