I don’t know if you remember the song Anticipation. One rendition was by Carly Simon. Advent is a season of anticipation, weeks of expectancy, eagerness and hope. At the time of Jesus the Jewish people were in a state of anticipation and expectancy. A hopeful people asked Jesus, ‘are you he who is to come or should be look for another?’ If you have small children this is the beginning of a time of anticipation in the family as your young children look forward to Santa’s coming to town. In anticipation we make plans for Christmas shopping, Christmas decorations, Christmas travel and Christmas family gatherings.

This Sunday we come to the end of what we call the ‘liturgical year.’ We call this Sunday the feast of Christ the King. We see two images of Christ in today’s reading. In the second reading Paul gives us his vision of the Cosmic Christ. “Christ is the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creation; for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created; things visible and things invisible – all things were created through him and for him. Christ is before all things and in him all things hold together – for in Christ the fullness of God was pleased to dwell and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things.”
This week in the bulletin: an advent evening of reflection, the new series Deepening our Faith, and an opportunity to learn about the Story of Mass.
