November 30, 2025 (Advent I)

This homily reframes Advent as active preparation rather than idle waiting, calling listeners to deepen their interior prayer life and readiness for Christ's coming.

Practical suggestions include creating a dedicated prayer space at home, practicing the rosary and Lectio Divina, setting achievable goals, and imagining what it means to be taken by the Lord.

The homily challenges you to use Advent to grow spiritually so you are different and more prepared on Christmas Day and whenever Christ returns.
