Luke 21: 25-28. 34-36
This Sunday we hear Jesus's warning not to become drowsy in the spiritual life. Sin and the daily cares of life can both dull our spiritual senses. It can be easy to lose sign of the heavenly realities when we are faced with so many day-to-day tasks that require our attention. Advent is a time to rouse us out of that drowsiness and to refocus our vision on our true home, Heaven!
On the way to Mass: How do you prepare when you have someone special coming over to your house?
On the way home from Mass: What did you notice was different at Mass this week?
Challenge of the Week: Adopt an Advent tradition this year! Perhaps an Advent wreath, the St. Andrew Novena, or have your baby Jesus visit a different family member each night sleeping by their bedside.
