SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT (A)
Advent is a Season of Light. It is a time in which the light of Christ shines forth into our lives and into our world, and we receive a great gift; ‘to us a child is born, to us a Son is given’. In John’s Gospel, Christ says of himself: ‘I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness’.
