Homily from 11-17-24

To whom are you faithful?  As we near the end of the church's liturgical year, we can ask ourselves whether or not we're ready for the end.  During these last few weeks, we hear scripture passages about the end times, the eschaton, the second coming of Christ.  We get to ask ourselves as the year ends and as a new one (beginning with the season of Advent) begins: To whom are we faithful?  Especially when the going gets tough, when life gets hard, frustrating, or maybe scary and unknown, do we keep our faith, hope, and trust in the God?  Maybe that's a good thing to think about this Advent!
