First Sunday of Advent
Posted by John R Loppnow
Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
That was a prayer that millions of followers of Christ are praying across the world today (Sunday).
In future posts I’ll be talking about the meaning and significance of Advent. I’m curious who knows what Advent is all about? What has it meant for you? How can we thoughtfully enter into Advent? My sense is that when we understand the signficance of Advent we will be drawn deeper into conversation with our loving Father by the Spirit.
