​First Sunday of Advent

Isaiah 63:16B-17, 19B; 64:2-7

Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down...

 

1 Corinthians 1:3-9

You are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation.

 

Mark 13:33-37

“May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping."

 

Questions for Reflection

• Advent begins with a confession. What guilt are we ready to relinquish in order to begin again?

• We know how to deck the halls. But how do we straighten out our complicated interior world for the coming of Jesus?

• If you had to make one change right now to bring your life closer to Christ, what would it be?

• Isaiah 40:1-5, 9-11;

• 2 Peter 3:8-14;
