Mark 13:24-37  &  Ezekiel 64:1-9 Advent is here!  We await the arrival of Jesus.  We are NOT awaiting the arrival of baby Jesus for he has already come and gone.  Rather, we await the arrival of Jesus and the consummation of all things in the full presence of the Kingdom of God on earth to put all things to rights. We await the presence of Jesus much sooner than we think.  For wherever there is the least significant of our brothers and sisters, there is Jesus. How can we prepare ourselves this Advent season? Jesus says, "Stay Alert!"
