Keep Awake–Christ is Coming

Fr Michael Rasicci’s homily for the 1st Sunday of Advent, 12/03/2023, Calvary Episcopal Church, Batavia, IL

In today’s Gospel (Mark 13: 24-37), Jesus says that he will come again–and that no one knows the hour or the day–therefore, “Keep Awake”.

Jesus Christ comes to us daily–in Communion, in our prayers. Advent looks at both Christ’s first coming and His second coming. We need to remember to “Keep Awake”–Christ is Coming.

(Readings: Isaiah 64:1-9; Psalm 80:1-7, 16-18; 1 Corinthians 1:3-9; Mark 13:24-37)
