Embrace Advent: Watch and Pray with Him


Listen Later

In this episode of Taste and See, we dive into the Gospel reading for the First Sunday of Advent (Luke 21:25-28, 34-36) and reflect on how Advent is more than just preparing for the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. It’s also a time to prepare for Christ’s Second Coming, His presence in the Eucharist, and His coming to us in the poor. Through a personal story of being distracted during Mass, we explore how to stay focused on the profound mystery of Christ’s coming in all its forms.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Four Comings of Christ: Bethlehem, the Eucharist, the poor, and the Second Coming.
