On Tuesday of this first week of Advent, we hear from the prophet Isaiah. We hear from Isaiah frequently during this holy season. We know from the prophecy of Isaiah that the Messiah will have David as his ancestor, as he will be from the shoot of Jesse. He will be filled with the spirit of the prophets who came before him. And he will proclaim a reign that will reflect God’s peace and justice.
At the beginning of the Advent season, it is good for us to think about how we are going to spend these holy days of preparation and renewal. Advent is a wonderful time for us to renew our faith and to prepare for the coming of the Lord. We have the little blue book for Advent with reflections from the Diocese of Saginaw, Michigan. These meditations will help you set the tone of your Advent journey and help you with your reflections. I also recommend the Catholic faithful to read through the readings for daily Mass and to attend daily Mass when possible, to reflect upon these readings in the context of our journey of faith. I always love celebrating the Advent season and love the possibilities and opportunities contained in these days. Blessings to you during this holy season.
