The First Sunday of Advent marks the beginning of a new year of grace on the church calendar. That puts us, liturgically, on the eve of a new year - and a resolution might be in order!
Unless you're visiting here for the first time, you've read these words over and over again: one of the best ways to prepare for Sunday Mass is to ponder and pray over the scriptures for that day. This Sunday's scriptures can be found here and background material on the same texts is available here.
Repeat after me: For the new year of grace, I resolve to prepare for Mass by reading and studying the scriptures ahead of time!
Happy New Year!
I resolve to prepare for Mass by reading and studying the scriptures ahead of time.
