Have a meaningful Advent everyone!
———————————-
First Sunday of Advent
Gospel: Mark 13: 33-37
Advent is a call to rejoice because it is the most hopeful season. God searched for us first and not us going to Him.
It is a call to faith, hope and love. We will never be ready when He comes. We are ready only in faith that there is life that is more glorious than what we have here. Our world is in such a chaos state. He has to come in the midst of chaos because in the end, God will reign.
Advent is a call to hope. So celebrate and not be guilty. We project fear because of our lack of belief in God.
The challenge for us is —
How can we live in joyful hope this Advent.
