Fr. Bob’s Thoughts for the Fourth Week of Advent

We are at the end of Advent, a time of waiting. How was it for you? Did you wait patiently? Did you listen carefully? Did you pray thoughtfully and watch closely?

Advent is a time of waiting. Waiting is something many of us are not used to doing. So today I ask you, what are you waiting for?

There’s a lot of secular sentimentality at Christmas, which makes it difficult for Christ to make an impact.

As we enter the season of Advent, the prophet Isaiah says to God, “Would that You might meet us doing right, that we were mindful of You in our ways.”
