1st Sunday of Advent B 30 November 2008

Click here to down load and listen to this homily (18 minutes) given by Fr. Thomas Weise at the 8:30 am Mass.  In this homily I share the process of Lectio Divina that I use when reading the scriptures and preparing homilies.  Simply stated Lectio Divina can be summarized down to four moments each starting with R: Reading, Reflecting, Responding, and Resting.  What does it mean to be clay in God the potter's hands?  What does it mean the our parish community lack no spiritual gift?  What does it mean to be watchful and alert to the Lord's coming?

Homework:  Take some time to practice Lectio Divina with the word of God this Advent.

Readings: Isaiah 63:16b-17, 19b; 64:2-7; Psalm 80; 1 Corinthians 1:3-9; Mark 13:33-37.
