Entering Into the Longing of All Creation to Be Restored

November 21, 2021 - Today is the Mass of Sunday Next Before Advent. It is the Mass where we begin to prepare to walk with Christ through that blessed and holy season. In Advent, by the grace of God, we enter into the longing that all of creation had to be redeemed; that time from the fall of man to the coming of Christ. We also look ahead preparing our souls for His Second Coming. We are reminded today that when we grow in the longing for our own souls to be restored by the healing ministry of Christ, the result is living a life pressing into Christ our God keeping oil in our lamp as we await the His Second Coming.
