Advent Begins Next Weekend
On the four Sundays of Advent, the
Catholic lectionary presents a series
of Gospel readings that prepare for
the celebration of the birth of Christ.
The Sunday Advent readings all
rotate on a three-year cycle, but they
always follow the same pattern. The
Gospel for the First Sunday of Advent always tells of
the reign of Christ at the end of time. It echoes the
theme of the previous Sunday, the solemnity of Our
Lord Jesus Christ the King. Advent starts with the
message that we await the second coming of Christ.
This entire season is not just a reminder of a past birth
but an anticipation of future glory. The Second and
Third Sundays of Advent always have Gospel readings
about John the Baptist. John is an adult in these
passages, proclaiming the nearness of the kingdom of
God and serving as the prophet who bridges the Old
and New Testaments. John foreshadows Jesus in his
birth, his preaching, and his death. John’s message on
these two middle Sundays of this season inspires us to
follow Christ. The Fourth Sunday of Advent always
tells part of the story that just precedes the birth of
Christ. These familiar episodes set the stage for one of
the Bible’s best-known passages, the story of Christmas.
The Gospel readings of the four Sundays of Advent
come to us in reverse chronology. We start with the end
of time. We continue to the period when Jesus was an
adult. We end in the days before his birth. Like a
funnel, Advent opens with a giant theme, the grandness
of Christ the King, and it ends with a specific one, the
child lying in a Bethlehem manger.
