Advent helps us to do a little house cleaning. For the second Sunday of Advent I plan to share a story in my homily about my mom. I remember when she would leave for work and
tell us kids that the house “better be clean” when she returns. If the house was clean upon her return we experienced her benevolence, but if we were lazy and didn’t clean we experienced her wrath.
Advent (from the Latin for “coming”) is a time for preparing for the Second Coming of Jesus as well as remember His first coming at Christmas. So we should make sure that our lives are in order, that our homes and our hearts are clean through repentance of sin so that we may welcome the benevolence of Christ when he comes again.
