1ST SUNDAY OF ADVENT, YEAR C

Theme: “By patient endurance, you will save your lives” (Luke 21:19) 

 

1st Reading: Jeremiah, chapter 33:14-16

The Lord makes a firm promise to a people in exile that at the appropriate time, he will restore David’s kingdom with a Messiah who would defend and protect his people.

 

2nd Reading: 1 Thessalonians, chapter 3:12-4:2 

St Paul’s prayer is that the congregation at Thessalonica and all the faithful, for that matter, would resolve to continue in their Christian way of life until the second coming of Christ.

 

Gospel Reading: Luke, chapter 21:25-28, 34-36

Jesus Christ speaks of the harsh times that will precede his second coming.  He cautions us not to be conceited nor give in to worldly things.  In other words, we should not lose our guard.
