Don Fabio Rosini, professor of communication and transmission of the faith, Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, Rome, comments on the Gospel of 12/01/2024, First Sunday of Advent In the Gospel of this Sunday Luke 21:25-28.34-36 We are invited to reawaken the expectation for the coming of Christ. From the Gospel according to Luke At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: "There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on the earth distress among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, while men will faint with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the earth. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to happen, stand upright and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near. But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing and drunkenness and the cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly, like a snare, for it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. But watch always, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man."
