2nd Sunday of Advent

 Prepare for His Coming 2Pt. 3:8-14

We prepare for Anything that is important and worthwhile. 

And what is more important to prepare for than when Jesus will return in all of His glory 

and there will be a New Heavens and a New Earth. 

With no more death or mourning. 

No war or poverty or division. 

When every tear will be wiped away. 

The Last and Final Day when  He will judge the Living and the Dead. 

According to their Conduct and their Faith. 

Most would consider this something rather important and worthwhile to be prepared for. 

But How do we prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus,

When one day with the Lord is like a thousand years 

And a thousand years is like one day?

When it could be tomorrow or a thousand years from now ?

By keeping it simple. 

Instead of worrying about the end of the world 

and trying to prepare for something we don’t know when it is going to happen. 

prepare for what we can. 

Jesus comes to us at every Mass. 

How prepared are we for His coming at Mass?

Do we prepare to come to Mass?

Do we read the Scriptures ahead for time?

Do we recollect ourselves to receive the Body of Christ?

Or do we come to church at the last minute?

Are we Distracted throughout Mass by everything we have to do. 

Do we  remember what Jesus said in the Gospel

Did we just go to communion because everyone else was going?

As prepared we are for the coming of Jesus at Mass

Is how prepared we will be for His coming in glory on the Last Day. 

It doesn’t matter if Jesus comes in a day or a thousand years. 

If we just simply prepare for Christ coming at Mass,

We will be prepared for His coming on the Last Day
