Preparing for Christ This Advent: “Come, Let Us Adore the King Who Is to Come”

About this sermon

In this powerful Advent sermon, we are invited to enter deeply into the spirit of holy waiting. Drawing from the Prophet Isaiah, the example of the shepherds and Magi, and the conversion of St. Augustine, this reflection shows us how to prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus Christ. Advent is a season of expectation, penance, and hope. In this homily, we are reminded of: • Our need to awaken from spiritual indifference • The importance of repentance and watchfulness • The beauty of Catholic traditions such as the Advent wreath • The value of simple, humble Advent resolutions • The example of Our Lady waiting in silence for the birth of Christ • The ultimate call to meet the Lord as faithful friends at His coming Whether you're seeking deeper devotion this Advent or rediscovering the meaning of Christian waiting, this sermon will help you prepare your heart for Emmanuel—God with us. 🙏 “None of them that wait on Thee shall be confounded.” 0:00 – Introduction & Invocation 0:20 – “Come, Let Us Adore the King Who Is to Come” 0:40 – The Prophet Isaiah’s Warning & God’s Complaint 1:10 – Humanity’s Indifference at Christ’s First Coming 1:45 – The Manger, the Animals, and the Failure to Recognize God 2:20 – The Magi and Shepherds vs. the World’s Indifference 2:50 – “The Light Shines in the Darkness”—Our Call to Respond 3:10 – Christ Will Come Again: Death & the Second Coming 3:30 – Advent: A World Waiting for Its Redeemer 4:00 – The Church’s Cry: “Come, Lord Jesus!” 4:40 – Watchfulness, Penitence, and the Passing of Time 5:20 – St. Augustine’s Conversion: “Take and Read” 6:00 – Putting on Christ: Beginning Again This Advent 6:30 – “None Who Wait On Thee Shall Be Confounded” 6:55 – Catholic Advent Traditions Explained 7:20 – The Meaning of the Advent Wreath 7:45 – When Should Catholics Put Up the Christmas Tree? 8:30 – Advent as a Penitential Season 9:00 – Advent Resolutions: Choose One & Persevere 9:30 – Our Lady: Model of Holy Waiting 10:00 – The Rosary During Advent: A Weekly Devotion 10:40 – Waiting With Mary, Joseph, and Heaven for Christ’s Coming 11:05 – Final Exhortation & Blessing For more from this parish please visit https://www.institute-christ-king.org/oakland-sermons & please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Follow the Institute of Christ the King on...
