Today is the first Sunday of Advent. Advent is a time of
preparation for us, a time to prepare for the coming of
Christ at Christmas. (The word “Advent” comes from the
Latin word adventus, which means “coming.”) Although
Advent refers to Christ’s birth at Christmas, it also refers to
the coming of Christ through the Sacrament of Holy
Communion. Finally, it reminds us of the need to prepare
for His Second Coming.
Everything we do during this holy period should be
aimed at preparing our minds and hearts for Christ’s
arrival. Our readings today, from our First Reading in
which the prophet Jeremiah predicts the coming of Christ
(“The days are coming, says the Lord, when I will fulfill
the promise.”) to our Gospel from Luke (“And then they
will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and
great glory.”) anticipates Christ’s arrival, both as an infant
and in His return.
As individuals and families and households we need to
develop or continue Advent traditions. Whether it is setting
time aside for special prayer or carefully filling a manger
or lighting an Advent wreath or singing Christmas carols or
reading Christmas poems and stories, we need to do some
different things and do them consistently throughout
Advent. This will help us have both the right focus and the
right attitude.
