Advent is the season that prepares the Christian people for the graces that
will be given again this year in the celebration of the great solemnity of
Christmas. From the First Sunday of Advent the homilist urges his people
to undertake a preparation that has many facets, each suggested by the
rich collection of scriptural passages in this part of the Lectionary. The first
part of Advent season urges us to prepare for Christmas by encouraging
us not only to look backward in time to our Lord’s first coming when, as
Preface I of Advent says, “he assumed the lowliness of human flesh,” but
also to look forward to his coming again “in glory and majesty,” to a day
when “all is at last made manifest.”
