Daily Preparation for the Lord's Coming


Listen Later

From the 6pm Mass on Sunday, December 1, 2024, the First Sunday of Advent, Year C, at the National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica in Royal Oak.

My three points:

  1. How we Observe the Birth of Christ
  2. Living as Christians
    • (One mistake I made: I called Keeping the Lord's Day Holy the Second Commandment, it is in fact the Third.)
  3. "New Year's" Resolutions?
    • Ideas:
      • Read
        • The Magnificat
        • Pope Benedict's Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives
        • Archbishop Sheen's Life of Christ, particularly through page 63
        • More suggestions from Unleash the Gospel
      • Pray
        • Kiss the floor when you wake up and dedicate the day to God
        • Marian devotion:
          • Daily Rosary, particularly focus on the Joyful Mysteries
          • At least pray a decade a day
      • Mass on Christmas Day: Spend Jesus' birth with Jesus
