Dear family members and friends: We are entering another Liturgical year on this first Sunday of Advent. The theme of this Sunday is Hope, which calls us to trust in God’s promises and anticipate his arrival in faith. Today’s Gospel reminds us to stay awake to receive the Lord, who comes at an hour which we do not know. St. Paul also warns us to wake from sleep for salvation is nearer to us. Let us get ready to receive this salvation with great hope. Let this season of Advent be a season of preparation to receive the Lord into our lives. Amen

Dear family members and friends: Today we celebrate the feast of Christ the King. Jesus Christ is the King of the universe. St. Paul says, “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” His Kingdom is the Kingdom of eternal salvation. On the cross Jesus tells the thief on the right side, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.” That is the eternal salvation. Christ is the King of that paradise, the place of eternal salvation. Let us proclaim Jesus as our King and submit ourselves to Him to be with Him always. Amen
