Prayer for the first Sunday of Advent


The new liturgical year begins on this First Sunday of Advent with Jesus’ call to be watchful and alert for his coming in glory and judgment at the end of time and at the end of our lives. However, we are also called to watch for his daily coming among us in the people and events that touch our lives and that call us to bear witness in our lives. Such watchfulness is our best preparation for the Christmas season as we remember his first coming among us in the lowliness of human flesh in fulfillment of God’s loving design of the path of eternal salvation.
