BEWARE OF INATTENTIVENESS - The Word Exposed with Cardinal Tagle (November 29, 2020) Subscribe to https://www.youtube.com/c/JesComTV/ We begin today a new Liturgical Year with the Advent Season; and on the First Sunday of Advent, the Gospel rouses us: “Be watchful! Be alert!” This will be a recurring theme during the Advent season. Only the Father knows the exact hour when the Son of Man will arrive. Our role is to be attentive. But how are we preparing, brothers and sisters? Hopefully when he comes, he will not find us “sleeping.” “Watch!” says Jesus. He may have been approaching us in the poor, the marginalized, the sick—and we have been ignoring him, pushing him away, shutting our e...

Preaching for the First Sunday of Advent, Sr. Terry Rickard offers a reflection on being awake to the continual coming of the God of hope, even as we lament our current realities: "Be awake, be woke to the God of hope who comes to us now in midst of our lamentations. Lamenting the surging virus, a divided country and a sinful and suffering Church. Lamenting racial injustice, lamenting our wounded earth and 545 children still separated from their families. As we enter Advent time, we lament with our eyes wide open, asking the God of hope to awaken us to the comings of God into our lives and into our suffering world." Sr. Theresa Rickard is a Dominican Sister of Blauvelt, New York and the...

Two-Minute Homily by Fr Lucius Edomobi for the First Sunday of Advent 2020. "We must be on the watch, always awake, so that Christ will not find us unprepared when he comes."

Jessie Bazan reflects on the Gospel Reading (Matthew 4: 18-22) for the First Sunday of Advent,  (29 November 2020) for our 60-Second Sermon Series.

The Advent season has begun! Martin Ngo, SJ, reflects on the fact that we aren't so good at waiting, but God can use this time to shake us back to our senses and change our hearts. Based on the readings for Sunday, November 29, 2020, which you can read here: https://bit.ly/OMH112920

2020.11.29 - First Sunday of Advent (Mark 13:33-37) This Sunday, we begin the season of Advent, this time of waiting, the practice of being ready. Amid our keeping watch, how are we paying attention to the ways God calls us to care for one another with love?

Faith, hope and love are virtues directed toward past, future and present. In Advent, we remind ourselves to be ever ready to meet and love the Lord who has come, who will come, who comes.

Be Alert for you do not know when Jesus will return!

Fr. Andrew Carl Wisdom, OP breaks open the readings for the First Sunday of Advent, challenging us to exercise our faith, like we exercise our muscles.

(A classroom prayer service can be found below) One of Mike's memorable experiences from jr high was bombing on an audition for musical theatre - and the sinking feeling that came along with waiting several days to find out he hadn't been cast. That sinking feeling waiting for bad news is nothing like the excitement of waiting to celebrate Christmas. When Jesus tells us to be ready, to wait... the question is, how does that waiting feel?
