  <itunes:subtitle>"After Jesus ascended into heaven, the disciples were praying on the day of Pentecost. They then had a powerful experience of the coming of the Holy Spirit. Their response is striking and instructive: They went out the door of the place where they had been gathered, and they began to talk about Jesus. They used their own words, gave examples of their own life with Jesus, they witnessed their faith in him as the risen Son of God, and an amazing thing happened: People believed them."

  <itunes:subtitle>Preparing for Christmas often feels more like a project than anything else. The challenge to our faith during this season is to think about what God has done and is doing. We remember that we’re saved because of God’s project, God’s work, God’s action in our lives, and not by our own efforts.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>In the Gospel reading for the First Sunday of Advent this year, Jesus tells us, "Watch!" This is difficult for most of us for whom--if we're honest--preparation for Christmas often feels more like a project than anything else. While getting ready to celebrate Christmas isn't a bad thing, we may miss what Jesus and His Church want to point out to us in the coming days, namely: &lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt; that we should watch for His coming now, in our everyday lives,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; that we ought to prepare "in joyful hope" to meet Him at the end of our lives, and&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; that we're waiting for His triumphant return and the end of all things.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
