Short Reflection for the 1st Sunday of Advent (B)
Readings: Isaiah 63: 16-17. 19. 64: 2-7; 1 Corinthians 1: 3-9; Mark 13: 33-37
Selected Gospel Passage: “Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come. And I say to you: WATCH!” (Mk. 13: 33 & 37)
Reflection: Take heed… Jesus comes in moments and at events we least expect. Vigilance is NOT doing anything or looking out at the sky but DOING our task and role well and conscientiously. Cuidate! www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
ADVENT is the beginning of a new Liturgical Year B. Advent a season of joyful expectation for the coming of the Lord celebrated at Christmas. Three characteristics should mark our Advent celebration:
1) “Make straight our crooked ways”;
2) “Allow ourselves to be taught by God”; and
3) Do Good to other and Do NO harm both to neighbors and environment.
