  <description>&lt;p&gt;Homily from the First Sunday of Advent.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;God will not just get us through this moment…He has brought us to this moment.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Too often, we find ourselves just wanting this moment to be “done." We miss out on the miracle of the moment because we see what is happening as something that is getting in the way of life. But this is life. There is not another one we are waiting for. We need to learn to trust that God is not just going to help us get through this moment, but that He has brought us to this moment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Mass Readings from November 29, 2020:&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Isaiah 63:16-17, 19; 64:2-7&lt;/dt&gt;
