Sermon in a Bottle

First Sunday of Advent - B.  "Be watchful.  Be alert."

With the introduction of the Roman Missal, Third Edition, I reflected on change/continuity.  A parish over its history may use several different church buildings, but it is still the same parish. In like manner over its 2,000 year history the Catholic Church has celebrated the Eucharist in many languages, using many forms or styles.  The new translations are in continuity with a history of change.  The season of Advent is familiar to us.  But have we changed since a year ago? Are we better disciples of Jesus, more charitable and forgiving because of the Eucharists we've attended?
