THE LORD’S COMING AND OUR HOPEFUL WAITING: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTION: 1ST SUNDAY OF ADVENT, CYCLE A, 2022

It is a new season of the church’s liturgical year, the season of advent which means the lord’s coming to save us and our hopeful waiting in preparation. The word advent in Latin “adventus” means “coming”.

This is the coming of Jesus into the world. Advent is intended to be a season of anticipation for Christ coming, preparation for Christ coming and reparation for Christ coming at Christmas. Advent also marks the start of the liturgical New Year and a moment of grace, mercy, peace, love, and salvation.
