When Christ Restores All Things - Homily 2nd December 2025
Description
Advent invites us to look beyond the surface chaos of our world and recognise the quiet work of God breaking in. Today’s readings remind us that Jesus comes not only to restore creation to harmony, but to restore our relationship with the Father. True peace begins when we allow Jesus to reveal the Father’s heart to us and when we receive our identity as His beloved children.
But this gift is seen only by the humble, those who stay grateful, attentive, and open-hearted. If we live with humility, we begin to notice God’s tender interventions in the small, ordinary moments: a new morning, a simple act of kindness, a quiet prompting of grace. This is how the Kingdom is already unfolding in our midst.
As we journey through Advent, may we cultivate hearts that see, receive, and rejoice in the Father’s love: the deepest joy of all.
Reflection Question: How can I recognise God’s presence with greater humility, gratitude, and openness this Advent?
