Be Firm In Your Faith

Watch Yourselves 34 “But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. 35 For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.” We close the Liturgical Year today and tomorrow enter the Season of Advent.In New England the trees are almost totally bare and sonw covers the roofs our homes. Definitely a new season. As we have been doing for the past several weeks, we are listening to the warnings of Jesus about "the end times", a major change in creation as we know it and the establishment of the Final and Full Reign of Christ our King. We prepare for four weeks for the birth of that King with ich readings from the prophet Isaiah,hearing to prepare our hearts for the coming of the Messiah. Each year there is something we can change or "tweak" in our spiritual lives, and in our behaviors to make our hearts better prepared to welcome the King...May we plan what we want to do, and as we burn each Advent Candle, remain firm in that plan.
