The Grace We Seek During the Second Week of Advent
from Ad Jesum per Mariam · host Ad Jesum per Mariam
The Grace We Seek During the Second Week of Advent In the first week of advent, we ask for a specific grace. The grace of resolve or firmly commit to running and greeting the Lord during His Coming with good deeds in our hands. The Advent season begins, not with a passive waiting for the Lord to come, but a preparation to meet Him when He comes. A preparation that requires us to move freely and not to arrive to the Lord empty handed. Today is the Second Sunday of Advent. It asks for a grace that builds upon the first Sunday’s grace request. Last week we asked for grace to run to the Lord with righteous deeds in hand. This week, we ask Heaven for the grace to run to the Lord in the first place. May no earthly undertaking hinder us, those who set out to run and to meet the Lord. Hear more about the grace we ask this week. Understand how the preparation time of Advent helps us spiritually. St. John the Baptist – Make Straight the Path of the Lord Hear how St. John the Baptist, the Voice, prepares all for the coming of the Lord. Hear his message on leaving behind those things and repent, for the King is Coming. Recognize the Lord is near. And that nearness requires a response from us. Repent, St. John the Baptist tells us. Change your heart now. So when the moment of grace arrives, you are ready. There is a lot that is surprising about Jesus. But God goes out of His way not to catch us off guard. He gives us this message from the Baptist to make straight the way of the Lord. The Baptist tells us it is our heart that must change, not the walkway of the Lord. Hear more in the Homily. So, what will happen when the Lord comes? The sheep will enjoy the company of the wolf. The lion and the lamb will play together without fear. We hear more in the Homily.
