THE PADRE'S PORTION2nd Sunday of Advent Dear Brothers and Sisters; One of the Old Testament Prophets: “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Upon those who lived in a land of gloom a light has shone.” (Isa 9:1) Luke 1:79 goes like this, “To shine on those who sit in darkness and death’s shadow, to guide our feet into the path of peace.” And a third, “I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kindred, and will put my words into the mouth of the prophet; the prophet shall tell them all that I command.” (Deut 18:18) What do all these have in common? Well, they are the basis and meaning of Advent. Advent, in modern language means, ‘Arrival’. God watched Adam and Eve be banned from the Garden of Eden. Their sins are what caused them to ‘die’. St. Paul tells us that since we are all related to Adam and Eve, we all share in the same disease that has banded mankind from Heaven. In Romans, the verse reads, “All have sinned and are deprived of the glory of God.” (Rom 3:23) So, something had to be done by God to save us from Death. The promise of a Savior (a Messiah) was proclaimed. Advent celebrates that Arrival. Fr. David Tate Comments? You may email pastor@stjosephaztec.org
