Excellent sermon at Mass

Father Gary gives pretty good sermons. I've taken to bring a small little book to write down his sermons.

Yesterday, 2nd week of Advent, the message was
1. Prepare the way of the Lord
2. Imminent 2nd coming of Christ, the Parousia.
3. Prepare yourself, remove all obstacles.

Those left behind from the Parousia are promised these 3 things
- Salom : prosperity and world peace
- no more unfairness : true justice and equality
- unfailing affection & friendship : no more quarrels, betrayals

Reflections for Advent
1. What are your obstacles? That prevent Jesus from entering your heart?
2. What are your sins - making the road to salvation rough and difficult?
3. What are the crooked ways in my life that needs to be straightened?
