[Grem] Advent 1. vasárnapja szentmiséje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus tells his disciples to be vigilant. Today
marks the beginning of Advent, the great liturgical season of vigilance, of
waiting and watching.What practically can we do during this season of vigil
keeping? What are some practices that might incarnate for us the Advent
spirituality? I strongly recommend the classically Catholic discipline of
Eucharistic adoration. To spend a half hour or an hour in the presence of
the Lord is not to accomplish or achieve very much—it is not really
"getting" anywhere—but it is a particularly rich form of spiritual waiting.
As you keep vigil before the Blessed Sacrament, bring to Christ some
problem or dilemma that you have been fretting over, and then say: "Lord,
I’m waiting for you to solve this, to show me the way out, the way forward.
I’ve been running, planning, worrying, but now I’m going to let you work."
Then, throughout Advent, watch attentively for signs. Also, when you pray
before the Eucharist, allow your desire for the things of God to intensify;
allow your heart and soul to expand. Pray, "Lord, make me ready to receive
the gifts you want to give," or even, "Lord Jesus, surprise me." *
