Next week we begin the season of Advent and we will sing and listen to the scripture texts which prepares us for the Christmas. We all speak about Advent, talk about it, but many a times without knowing its meaning. It may be because we are very familiar with the word, or because we celebrate every year...we fail to understand the rich meaning and significance of Advent. It means “coming”. So we ask ourselves: who is that is coming, where and when is he coming....for whom and what purpose is he coming.....we know the answer that Jesus is coming ...he is coming for all...coming for sinners and saints alike....born as poor man though he was rich....son of God became man for you and me...Precisely for this we have the time of Advent, so that we can penetrate this essential truth of Christianity every year again.
