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.
