How can we prepare our hearts for Christ’s coming during Advent? Fr. John Meyer explores repentance, humility, and sacrifice as essential attitudes for spiritual renewal - using parables like the lost coin and the prodigal son, to encourages listeners to see themselves as the “lost” being joyfully found by God. Fr. John draws on the wisdom of Augustine, Chrysostom, and St. Paul to illustrate how prayer, gratitude, and sincere repentance bring us closer to Christ, transforming ordinary struggles—like impatience and pride—into opportunities for grace. Ultimately, we are all called to a deeper, more personal encounter with God, echoing Mary’s example of faith and openness.
