1st Sunday of Advent

Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy.

Advent is a season meant to shake us awake and make us ready for the coming of Jesus Christ: at Christmas, at the end of time and at every moment in our hearts.

Our hearts become drowsy when our Jesus is not at the center of our lives. We convince ourselves that we don't need him, and our hearts get tired and our souls become drowsy from trying to do it all on our own.

The remedy for drowsy hearts is prayer. Real, relationship with the Lord should be the center of our lives. This Advent, make prayer a priority and your heart will awaken to the presence of Jesus in your life.
