December 1, 2025 • Monday of the First Week of Advent 
Gospel: Matthew 8:5–11 
 
Advent begins with a quiet promise. Isaiah describes a God who washes, restores, and shelters His people. The centurion shows how this promise is received: not by performance, but by trust. One simple truth stands out today: “Only say the word.” 
 
Fr. Korey LaVergne reflects on the God who rebuilds what we cannot fix and gathers even the unexpected into His Kingdom. 
 
Recorded at Saint Edward Catholic Church in Richard, LA.
