Homily given by Fr. Zack Swantek on Sunday, November 30, 2025, the First Sunday of Advent. Full homily text. In this First Sunday of Advent homily, Fr. Zack reflects on Advent as a season of awakening—when God draws near, calls us out of spiritual complacency, and invites us to return from exile as Pilgrims of Hope. Rooted in the Jubilee theme and the cry of “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,” he urges us to welcome Christ today, make room in our hearts, and walk in the light as we begin a new year of grace.
