First Sunday in Advent: Devotional Resource

Year C: First Sunday in Advent: Luke 21 

Advent is a time of waiting as we prepare our hearts to await the coming of Christ.  The liturgical color that is used is either purple or blue.  Blue is a color that represents the sky, welcoming Christ as King, the waters in Genesis, and the new creation.  Purple is a color of royalty, welcoming Christ as King in to our world, it evokes the passion and suffering of Christ.  Pink (Rose) is often used on the third Sunday in Advent, a symbol of joy and happiness, and white or gold is used for Christmas celebrating the birth of Jesus. 

As we turn our thoughts to the lectionary readings that recall the advent theme's of God's coming, judgement, Promises of hope and renewal, we await the coming of light into the darkness of our world.  We stand amazed as we prepare our hearts to receive the most remarkable divine work of grace.  These devotional videos are meditations and reflections on several works of art that draws spiritual insight for Advent.  It invites us to await the coming of the Light of Christ during this time of preparation.
