Sunday, December 1, 2013: (First Sunday of Advent)
Jesus said: “My people, the Gospels of the last Sunday of the Year and the first Sunday of the Church Year are similar in that they speak of My glorious victory when I will return. There is mention today of My coming, but the real focus should be on My victory, rather than on My being honored at Christmas. I already came to the earth once to die for mankind’s sins, but My next coming will be to separate the evil ones from My faithful. You do not know when this Chastisement will come, nor do you know when I will come for you at your death. In either case, you need to be watchful, and ready with a pure soul by frequent Confession. Many people are unprepared for their judgment because I will truly come when you least expect Me. This is the point of today’s Gospel in that you need to be ready to meet Me at your judgment every day. Then you will be like the wise virgins, and not like the foolish virgins who were unprepared when the bridegroom came.”
