Study, Pray, Serve: 1st Sunday of Advent
Catholic Inspiration
Here are some of the themes that surface in the Mass readings for the 1st Sunday of Advent. (Lectionary #1) November 24, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci -
info_outlineRemember as kids when we learned how to do long division? Remember what happens when you make a mistake early on, only to find out at the end that the answer is wrong? And remember how you have to:
- Go back to the beginning
- Find the mistake
- Rework the problem to a new solution?
The same is true for spiritual life. Both the first reading and the Gospel call us to repent - turning away from our sins and mistakes and following God with full hearts. May we call upon the Lord's grace to move forward with God's help as we embrace the Good News.
