In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast. Fr. Rob and Fr. George to discuss The Three Comings of Christ to reflect on during Advent. The three comings of Christ are: 1) Christ's birth at Christmas, 2) Christ's coming into our hearts and souls every day, and 3) Christ's coming at our death and at the end of time. Advent as a preparation for Christmas is plainly understood.

Even Christ's coming at our death and at the end of time is easily understood in context of the readings and practices. Christ who comes into our hearts and souls on a daily basis need to be understood better. This requires a true spirit of repentance that our faith and the Advent season calls us to. What separates us from allowing Christ to enter our hearts is our own sin. Fr. Rob and Fr. George encourage all their listeners to take up penitential practices this lent to allow Christ to enter our hearts more fully.

Listen to the previous episode where. Fr. Rob, Fr. George, discussed some tips and things to be aware of when having conversations about sensitive issues. Prudence is a key virtue in this regard. Firstly, it’s important to discern if the topic in question is a topic we are qualified to address. If we chime in just so our voices are heard, we should do some deeper reflection into our motives. We want to be authoritative on the subject.

Secondly, using prudence to determine our timing. There are certain issues that may always be difficult to broach, but having the correct timing helps mitigate negative responses and helps form a charitable conversation built upon our eternal salvation. Then, finally, not allowing our anger take hold. Sometimes we can grow angry with a conversation and being aware of that can inform how to best move forward. Fr. Rob and Fr. George offer more concrete advise and tips. Through all these steps, one needs prudence.
