Bishop Barron's daily Gospel Reflection Sunday, November 27, 2016

My thoughts on today's Gospel reading...

1st Sunday of Advent, Cycle A
Matthew 24:37-44
Friends, today’s Gospel compares the terror of the end times with that of the flood that destroyed the earth in Noah’s time. Why does the coming of the Son of Man strike fear in us? If he is the Son of God, then he will break into our sinful world like a cleansing fire and like a wild storm and like a violent revolution.

Well, if he is the life, that life which is opposed to him has to give way; and if he’s truth, then false claimants to truth must cede to him; and if he’s the way, then the false ways have to be abandoned. And all of this will hurt. So we must watch, pray, and renounce our sins.
