In the Gospel reading on the 2nd Sunday of Advent, John the Baptist appeared preaching in the desert of Judea saying: "Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." As we get ready for our Lord's coming this Christmas, the message of John the Baptist to us today is the same: "Repent!"

Advent reminds us that the Lord is coming and time is short. And Jesus is not just talking about His coming in the flesh as an infant child at Christmas, or of His coming in glory at the end of time, but of His coming in grace into each of our hearts.

When we open ourselves to make Christ the King and Lord of our life, His light will shine brightly within us, allowing us to witness to Christ in the practical details of everyday life.

At Vatican II, the Church decreed that the purpose of sacred music is: “the glory of God and the sanctification and edification of the faithful.” Sacred music is created explicitly for the purpose of worshipping the Living God, and helps us to experience the Mass in a more elevated and prayerful way.

God does not ever fail. We may fail Him, but He will never fail us. He is ever faithful. While we're alive, we still have time to approach the merciful Father. If we do this, we should not worry when death calls. Rather, we can rest assured that death is the beginning of the true and everlasting life, planned for each one of us by God before time began.

Today we celebrate All Souls Day. Not only do we pray for those who have died, but we also remember the inevitability of our own death, so we can prepare for that encounter now, and bring our lives into conformity with God.

How did the saints like Mother Teresa and St. Paul endure the struggles, the hardship, and the sufferings of their daily lives for years in joyful service to the Lord? The Eucharist.

When we commit ourselves to adoring Jesus in the Eucharist, His Eucharistic Love will move us to act. So let us commit ourselves to spending one hour in Adoration on Thursdays here at Christ the King.

Jesus burns with longing for us to be with Him. Just one glance at the cross shows us how far He has gone for us and how he passionately He desires us to be with Him.

Because the Eucharist is Jesus, devotion and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is the most powerful way we wage war against evil today.

How grateful are you? Father Solanus Casey is a powerful example of how God can do wonderful things through us when we are grateful to God in all circumstances - good and bad. Gratitude turned Solanus Casey into a saint, because he allowed Jesus to work wonderful deeds through him and He can do it through us too.

When we are committed to the Eucharist, we cannot help but to increase our love for God, for our families, for each other and for those in need. Divine Love will be flowing into our souls, giving us the strength to witness to Him in the world.
