FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT YEAR C
INTRODUCTION:
There will be honesty in the land; there will be integrity in the land. What a daring promise this sounds to us, because in reality, it is quite different. When listening to people talking we hear them say, there is no honesty, you are cheated everywhere, you cannot trust anyone. He will practice honesty and integrity. This is the powerful message of today. You will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Creation will be renewed, is the message of Advent.
GOSPEL: LUKE 21: 25-28 / 34-36
Jesus said to his disciples: “There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves. People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand. “Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap. For that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth. Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man.”
