Advent

This advent meditation gives the three things you must do on this earth before your time is up in order to find happiness in the world to come. It also provides motivation to eradicate those venial sins: you won’t make it until you pay to the last farthing! Yikes! See how to avoid it here!

An Advent meditation that helps you watch for Our Lord and His Second coming.
Venial sin is small as compared with mortal sin, but it is small only as ten thousand years are small compared with eternity

Advent Meditations from yesteryear, when people still believed there was a hell and wanted to avoid it, so they watched for the Lord. “Blessed is he whom his Lord, when He cometh, shall find watching.” These will help you watch!

Advent Meditations for December 10.
Contains the secret of true joy, and explains the one thing that can keep us from God.
There is only one obstacle in our way, only one real hindrance to our progress towards happiness and peace, only one barrier between us and God.

Advent Meditations that will get you closer to the mystics. “We have assumed a sort of independence of God which renders it impossible for Him to pour into our hearts that hope which is in exact proportion to our conformity to His will.”

REPENT AND PREPARE THE WAY! These Advent meditations by Fr. Clarke SJ hit hard where it is needed! “It meant that he was unworthy to serve Christ, even in the capacity of a slave, and by doing the work that many slaves would consider beneath them.”

Yet the teaching of St. John is true now, as it was at the time his words were first spoken.  Penance is the means of preparation for the advent of our King.

The secret of St. John’s success was thus the result of practicing what he preached.  He practiced much more than he preached, for he enjoined upon his hearers the simple performance of ordinary duties while he led a life of continual penance and self-denial.  If our words are to carry any weight we must not preach without practicing.
