In this week's edition of There's More in the Gospel than Meets the Eye,
Jill Bevilacqua and Seàn-Patrick Lovett bring us readings and reflections for the
First Sunday of Advent. Listen:
Gospel Mt
24:37-44
Jesus said to his disciples: “As it was in the days of Noah, so
it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. In those days before the flood, they
were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day that
Noah entered the ark. They did not know until the flood came and carried them all
away. So will it be also at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be out
in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left. Two women will be grinding
at the mill; one will be taken, and one will be left. Therefore, stay awake! For
you do not know on which day your Lord will come. Be sure of this: if the master
of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would
have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into. So too, you also must
be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”
