THE JESUS WHO IS BORN IN TIME AND HISTORY IS ALSO THE CHRIST WHO WILL COME IN GLORY TO JUDGE ALL In a time of great upheaval and chaos for Israel, Jeremiah reassures the people of better days to come, when a descendant of David will rule them with integrity and honesty.
Looking forward to the return of Christ in glory, Saint Paul reminds us that we must strive for true holiness now. In the Gospel, Jesus reminds us that no matter what befalls us in this life, we are to have confidence in him, the Son of Man. The season of Advent begins with a call to perseverance and vigilance as we prepare to celebrate not just the historical event of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, but our central belief that Christ will come again in glory to judge all humanity. Our readings are chosen to help us reflect on this great truth and be prepared for the coming of Christ !
