4th Sunday Of Advent 2012
This Mass is a final plea to beg for God’s blessings and graces.  God desires to send these helps to us but it is dependent upon our asking for them.  The Epistle for today’s Mass is directed to the candidates for the priesthood.  The reason for Our Lord’s arrival on Christmas is for our salvation.  We do not know when the end of time will come or when our own end will come, which is why we must be always prepared.  God will not forget those who do not forget Him.  The true “Spirit of Christmas” is the desire, commitment, and promise to follow Christ.
