Friends of the Rosary,

This Advent, a season of spiritual waiting, we put on the armor of light to “seek only to do God’s work and abandon the deeds of the flesh (cf. Rm 13:12-14).”

It’s the Christian lifestyle, not distracted and indifferent, but vigilant and recognizing even the smallest sign of the Lord’s second coming, as we don’t know the hour in which He will arrive (cf. Mt 24:39-44).

More to it, yesterday in the Gospel (Matthew 24:37-44), Jesus invited us to recognize the signs of the last days.

It means that Advent is not just looking back at the first coming of Christ at Christmas, but our personal preparation for His Second Coming: “Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come….you also must be prepared, for an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”

Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
