NO CHRISTMAS WITHOUT SPIRITUAL PREPARATION, RECONCILIATION AND PEACE: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 2ND SUNDAY OF ADVENT, CYCLE C, 2021
The most fundamental spiritual reality of Advent is that there is no Christmas without spiritual preparation of our hearts and reconciliation or peace with God or our brothers and sisters. Hence, Advent is a season of grace that God gives us through His Church to prepare us spiritually for the birth of Jesus Christ. This birth is not in the celebrations, traditions, decorations or symbols of Christmas but our hearts. The befitting dwelling place of God in our lives.
