FIRST  SUNDAY  OF ADVENT YEAR A  

1st Reading: Is. 2:1-5; 2nd Reading: Rom. 11:13-14a; Gospel: Matt. 24:37-44

There is no securer and holier temple in which we can worship God other than in the Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ- the Church.  Our three-year-cycle of Holy Mass Prayers and Readings-A-B-C- keeps us in continuous communion with God in Christ. It ever readies us for the sudden or delayed coming of Our Savior. Am I ready? Are you ready? Let us give up our sinful ways.  + Most Rev Anthony J.V. Obinna (Archbishop Emeritus)

“Walking in the footsteps of Christ, the disciple becomes a wayfarer
 and – like the Samaritan – learns to see and to have compassion”.

Pope Francis Angelus 20.11.22

Remember to say at least 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary, 1 Glory be to the Father, for the Pope’s intention.
