REFLECTION: 1st SUNDAY OF ADVENT
You must stand ready because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect (Matthew 24:44) Eternal God, you will come when we do not expect you. Help us to welcome you now, in one another, To reach out to our brothers and sisters in need of care and support. And in this way, may we be found ready, when you come again in glory. Amen
