In this week’s reflection, Nancy Flores-Mai expresses joy and gratitude during Gaudette Sunday, reflecting on readings from Isaiah and the Gospel emphasizing God’s favor and the coming of Jesus. The reflection also conveys a personal commitment to share the joy and the Good News with others, particularly those who may not be aware of the love of God or the true meaning of Christmas.
The first Sunday of Advent is a reminderto always be ready for when God arrives. The Gospel reads “Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap.” Lk 21:25-28, 34-36 Please join us at Mass as we can be inspired by Jesus’s love.
