Sanctification Through The Liturgy
First Sunday of Advent 2023
On this first day of the liturgical year, we begin with a view of the end of time. It is a warning for the enemies of Christ. A day is coming when God will judge the nations. This is a Gospel of hope. “Christ loves us too much not to share His sufferings and joys.” The ordinary means of sanctification is the holy liturgy. It conforms us to Christ. It brings the mysteries of Christ to life on the altar. In the season of Advent, we share in the preparation of all the patriarchs and prophets for Christ’s coming.
