1st Sunday of Advent Year B

1st Reading: Is. 63: 16b-17; 64:1.3b-8; 2nd Reading: 1Cor. 1:3-9; Gospel: Mk: 13:33-37

This Advent Season leading us into the New Year 2024 summons us to continue our salvation journey in Christ. It entails steadfastness in the will and way of God. It entails repentance of our sins and persistence in the way of righteousness. As long as we wait prayerfully and patiently for the Lord He will give us the gifts we need to succeed in our journey. The uncertain time of Our Lord’s return should keep us ever busy and alert.

Most Rev Anthony J.V. Obinna, Archbishop Emeritus (Owerri Archdiocese).
