Lectio Divina
READ: “Therefore, stay awake? For you do not know on which  day  the Lord  will come.” (Gospel)
REFLECT: “Find Ways and Means to overcome your weak­ ness (say flesh and purity) this is what it means also to stay awake”. This first Sunday of Advent ushers us to listen to these words “stay awake”. This means being prepared, being ready: opening up of our minds and hearts. Because we do not know when the Lord comes. When we are caught off guard we will be ashamed at others. We become the butt of jokes. When the Lord tells us today: “staying awake”, this means a serious caution. In the Second reading this “staying awake” is translated to “putting on Christ” and do not be led by the flesh nor follow its desires. Putting on Christ means embracing His ways. Be ready for any even­ tuality that Christ wants us.
PRAY: “Lord, lead me to your path, enlighten my mind and heart. Let your WORD be my light.
ACT: Be keen with what leads us to the sins of the flesh which destroys purity.
