Notes:
We come back to
the beginning of our year
· Advent
Our
nature, darkness, light and our house
·
Roman 13
o
“…the
night is advanced, the day is at hand.”
§ Like our season
§ But also in our spiritual
lives
o
St.
Paul is challenging the Romans against orgies, drunkenness, promiscuity, lust,
rivalry and jealously
o
What is the darkness in your
soul?
·
Then he will say:
o
“Let us then throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of
light; let us conduct ourselves properly as in the day…”
What do we do in Advent?
·
We must stay awake
against the darkness!
o
Matthew 24: “Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour of night
when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not let his house be
broken into. So too, you also must
be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”
·
How do we stay in the light?
o
Well in winter we stay in our house with electrical lights
o
We have a lantern, flashlight when ice fishing
o
Putting our lights on our vehicles
·
Keep the lights on in your
spiritual life
·
Go to our house…God’s house!
o
Mass: Let us go rejoicing to the
house of the Lord.
o
Adoration: Let us go rejoicing to the
house of the Lord.
o
Prayers: Let us go rejoicing to the
house of the Lord
In
Advent
·
Stay awake!
·
Keep the lights on in your
spiritual life
·
And walk in four weeks to
grow in your spiritual life against the darkness of sin versus the light in
a relationship with Jesus Christ and our Catholic Church
