1st Sunday of Advent

Mark 13:33-37


*Friends, today’s Gospel urges us to stay alert as we await the coming of
the Lord. Advent is the season of waiting. We place ourselves in the
position of those who, over the centuries, waited for the coming of the
Messiah. With them, we cry out, "How long, O Lord?" Though Jesus fulfilled
the expectations of his people, nevertheless we still wait. The liturgy
states it very clearly: "as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our
Savior, Jesus Christ." In one of the Eucharistic prayers, we find, "as we
await his coming in glory…" The Creed says, "He will come again in glory to
judge the living and the dead." And the very last words of the New
Testament are "Maranatha, Come Lord Jesus." What do we make of all of this?
Do we really think that he is going to come again and walk on the earth? We
stay awake in our waiting if we pray on a regular basis; if we educate
ourselves in the faith; if we participate in the sacraments, especially the
Eucharist; if we perform the corporal and spiritual works of mercy; if we
become people of love. *
