Thursday of the First Week of Advent 
December 4, 2025 
Saint Edward Catholic Church in Richard, LA
Isaiah sings of a strong city built by God Himself. Jesus speaks of the house that stands because it rests on rock. Today’s readings reveal the heart of Advent: God does not only give strength. He becomes our strength. 
 
One line from this homily says it plainly: “God loves us enough to remove what cannot hold our weight.” 
 
Gospel: Matthew 7:21, 24–27
Listen to today’s reflection and let the Lord steady the foundations beneath your feet.
