THE HOLY GOSPEL (Mt. 9:27-31)
The Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew,
When Jesus passed on from Capernaum, two blind men followed him, crying out, “Son of David, have pity on us!” When he entered the house, the blind men, approached him and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I can do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they said to him. Then he touched their eyes and said, “Let it be done for you according to your faith.” And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” But they went out and spread word of him through all that land.
Reflection:
They say that the Advent Season is a time of waiting, to be redeemed from darkness and be brought into light. We are in the dark and Christ’s coming will bring us light. The Gospel made quite an exact representation of our state during this liturgical season. The darkness that envelope us makes us blind. Who will liberate us from sinfulness? Who will heal us from our woundedness? Who will heal us from our blindness? Christ is coming; unless we let Him be born in us, we will remain in darkness. He alone can give us true light. Will you still want to live in the dark?
Prayer:
Let us pray…
Lord, free us from the darkness inside us. Make us prepared for your coming. Cleanse our hearts for you. Amen.
St John Baptist de la Salle…Pray for Us!
Live Jesus in our hearts… Forever!

From the Christian Living Department
What is the History and Significance of Advent Sunday and the Season?
In olden days in Northern England, it was customary for poor women to carry an"Advent image" – two dolls dressed as Jesus and the Virgin Mary. Those who saw the dolls were expected to donate some money and it was believed that bad luck would befall upon those who did not see the doll-bearing women.
Also sometimes referred to as 'Winder Lent', Advent is part of the liturgical calendar that takes Christians through the seasons of the church and is historically considered to be the long-time rhythm of a church year.
In its earliest days, Advent day marked the start of the season of fasting to help people receive Christ.
