Persevere In Advent


The new liturgical year begins. Every year, in fact, starting from the first Sunday of Advent, the Church, through the cycle of Sundays and feast days, tries to make us aware of God's work of salvation in the history of man, humanity and the world. Precisely by this “adventus,” which means “coming,” God comes to man, and this is a fundamental dimension of our faith. We live our faith, when we are open to God's coming, when we persevere in Advent.

-Blessed John Paul II, Angelus for December 3, 1978

Blessed John Paul II, please pray for us, that we may persevere in our waiting for the coming of Christ.
