SUMMARY:ADVENT - THE TWO COMINGS OF CHRIST
DESCRIPTION:https://www.thefranciscanfriars.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Advent-Series-2023.mp4\n\nWednesdays Nov. 29th\, Dec. 6th\, 13th\, and 20th \nEach Advent\, we celebrate a new beginning. Although we enter into these four weeks as a time of preparation for Christmas and recalling the birth of the Lord\, the Scriptures of the season begin by calling to mind the end time and the return of Christ. This is also part of Advent-to help us prepare for the return of Christ in glory. It’s not a matter of either/or but both/and. \nJoin us for our Advent Reflections as we explore the Sunday Scriptures. Beginning on Wednesday\, November 29 and on each of the Wednesdays of Advent we will reflect on the Scriptures for the coming weekend. By anticipating the Scriptures and themes for each\, you will have a greater appreciation for them and\, hopefully\, have a more fruitful and spiritual Advent. \nThe first 30 registrants will be assigned to the Daytime Advent Reflections which will begin at 10:00 AM and include a reflection on the Scriptures\, the celebration of Holy Mass\, and lunch with the friars. This workshop will be $20 per class or $60 for the four-week series. If there is enough demand\, we will host an Evening Advent Reflections which will begin at 6:30 PM and include a reflection on the Scriptures and a prayer service. The evening class will be $10 per class or $30 for the four-week series. \nAll classes will be held at St. Bernardine Monastery\, 768 Monastery Road\, Hollidaysburg. To register for the workshop\, please send your payment to: \nFranciscan Friars\, TOR\nPO Box 139\nHollidaysburg\, PA 16648 \nFor questions\, please call 814-695-3802. We look forward to seeing you!

SUMMARY:First Sunday of Advent 2016: Reflection
DESCRIPTION:FIRST SUNDAY of ADVENT\nCycle C  (Jer 33: 14-16; I Th 3: 12– 4:2; Lk 21: 25-28\, 34-36) \nAdvent expresses in symbol and ritual three phases in our Christian journey of faith: Christ has come\, Christ will come again\, and Christ is present now! We reflect upon the first; we look to the second; we live the third daily. All three shape who we are as individuals. With these scripture texts\, Advent begins with warnings about taking stock of our lives so that we may be “blameless in holiness.” Those who are faithful will be able to face any danger and welcome Christ’s coming. There are three poems that come to mind as I reflect upon these scripture readings (see Monday\, Week 1\, Friday\, Week 2\, and January 1.) For me\, these poems imagine the different ways we cope or respond to that moment. \nIn this winter season\, the earth seems to be dying. Advent begins at this time and the poems and readings provide a way for us to reflect communally on the Word of God that speaks to us of the end times. In what ways have I prepared for the end of my world when I am called? What are some of the ways I can prepare to meet the Lord at crib or cross with a good conscience? With the disasters our nation has experienced since to change our ways of looking at reality. As TOR Franciscans\, Advent is our season with its call for conversion\, a fresh turning to God. Let us not be intoxicated by society’s commercial attractions. Rather\, read and reflect upon these poems with your heart’s eye so you can see Christ however He comes—whether through friend or stranger each day. How have you prepared for the Lord’s coming? \n– Bro. Didacus Wilson\, T.O.R.
