First Sunday of Advent

FOCAL POINT:

“The loving and faithful observance of the Constitutions – not by mere attachment to the letter, which kills, but by loving submission to the spirit that gives life – will help us to know God’s will more clearly and intimately and lead each member of the Resurrectionist Community to the fullness of his consecration to the Risen Christ.” (Con. 224)

1. For our Congregation, our superiors, and for vocations.
2. As we enter the Season of Advent may we prepare well to celebrate the Incarnation of the Lord.
3. For all the faithful departed.

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“We are speaking of an attitude of the heart, one which approaches life with serene attentiveness, which is capable of being fully present to someone without thinking of what comes next, which accepts each moment as a gift from God to be lived to the full.” (Laudato Si’, 226)
