Views 369
Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Dec 02, 2022, on how as Christians, we should be like athletes training for the second coming of Christ.
Three comings really, Christmas, Second coming but also at the hour of our death
Athletes are impressive, but they do lots of exercising
Same with the saints, they really worked at multiplying the graces to become mature Christians.
If we neglect, then we will not be prepared for His coming
Exhortation to be like children does not mean that we should be lazy spectators but to grow in faith and virtues
1 cor 9: 24 - https://bible.usccb.org/bible/1corinthians/9?24
It is not just about us but being strong for others
Need to pray much, many rosaries
Advent is a time to grow and be prepared through exorcise
The purple of Advent is royalty but also the color of penance
spiritual reading, prayer, helping others, spending time with Christ to prepare for his coming
Ave Maria!
