Happy New Year!

First Sunday of Advent
Sunday, December 3, 2006

Readings:

First Reading: Jeremiah 33:14-16
Psalm: Psalm 25:4-5, 8-10, 14
Second Reading: 1 Thessalonians 3:12 - 4:2
Gospel: Luke 21:25-28, 34-36

This Sunday is the first Sunday in the Liturgical Season of Advent, and is the New Year's Day of the Christian calendar. Like Lent, Advent is one of the two periods within the Church Year that focuses on penitence and fasting. During this season we, as believers are called to journey inward to find the Light that is within us. As we light the candles of the advent wreath, may we be drawn to the Light of the World, Jesus.
