A God Who Keeps His Promises by Father Peter published on 2018-12-02T17:41:22Z Today as we celebrate the first Sunday of Advent, we are reminded that Jesus came once before and He will come again. And that as we are preparing for Christmas, a remembrance of His first coming, why we should on a daily basis prepare for His second coming. Today we are also reminded that God made a promise to His people Israel in today's first reading from Isaiah and that Jesus was the fulfillment of that promise. So today as we begin Advent I focus on God keeping His promises and in the homily I also include a true story from Matthew Kelly's book, "Rediscovering Catholicism" about the underground Catholic Church. Happy Advent everyone! Genre Religion & Spirituality
