The Secret to Advent Waiting: Prepare Your Heart with Our Lady – Nov 30 – Homily – Fr Isidore
Views 15
Fr. Isidore M. Cipres gives the homily for the First Sunday of Advent (Nov 30, 202), explaining how Advent is a season of active readiness and vigilant waiting, and calling us to awaken from spiritual slumber, put on the armor of light, and prepare our hearts for the two comings of Christ: His birth at Christmas and His return at the end of time.
Father invites us to keep watch by uniting ourselves with Our Lady through dedicated prayer, sincere confession, and joyful expectation, setting aside worldly distractions like consumerism and social media.
Ave Maria!
