ANTICIPATING CHRIST'S COMING THIS ADVENT AND ALWAYS............

The First Monday of Advent, the Feast of the Jesuit priest and missionary, St. Francis Xavier, enlightens us to anticipate with Hopefulness and Trust, the Coming of Jesus The Christ, Lord of Creation, and Light of the World, confident that our Faith in the Divine GodHead, and our pro-active preparation for His Coming as Emmanuel, transforms and redeems our lives.  We Believe as Catholic-Christian Disciples, that Jesus, is Co-Eternal with the Heavenly Father, and the Holy Spirit.  The Blessed Trinity of God being immemorial, with no beginning and no end.  But into the winter of division and disunity between the Divine and Humankind our Faith teaches us the Plan of Reconciliation and Redemption the Heavenly Father extended to us and all persons for our eternal salvation and reunification, is that the Co-Eternal Son of God Become a Man and bridge the divide we would otherwise experience.  That is Jesus Christ's Coming in history as God Made Man we prepare during Advent to celebrate at Christmas.  So today as you take the next step forward into Advent, make time to pray more; to reflect greater on the meaning of Christ's Coming for you and for all People of God, who Hope, Trust, and Build personal and communal relationships with the Divine and other Human beings that show forth the Advent People we are here and now, whoever; wherever; we may be............Fr.  Troy
