Just Can't Wait | 1st Sunday of Advent | Year B
Fr. Sam French reflects on the season of Advent, emphasizing its spiritual significance in our fast-paced, internet-driven world. He contrasts the immediacy of modern life with the patient waiting inherent in Advent, drawing a parallel between our dwindling patience in the face of rapid technological advancements and the ancient tradition of anticipating Christ's coming. Fr. Sam highlights the importance of embracing this period of watchful waiting, as taught in Christian tradition, and the relevance of Advent in reminding us of the virtues of patience and attentiveness. He offers practical advice for the Advent season, urging listeners to engage in daily Scripture reading and to seek moments of silence amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. This homily invites us to step back from our constant connectivity and to prepare our hearts and minds for the celebration of Christmas, focusing on spiritual readiness and the anticipation of Christ's Second Coming.

Best homily ever
Soothing and Encouraging
My name is Rick Daglas. After working in health care for as long as I can remember, and after opening a clinic to test psycho-kenetic energy in gifted children, my boss, Wonton, put me on to this podcast.
I had been going through a tough time. My buddy, he… well, you see, he… he exploded. Yes, I know what you’re thinking, but he did. While many who knew Larry wept, I did not. Why? Well, because somebody has to be the strong one.
This podcast has been the greatest help to me in navigating the storms of life after Larry’s exploding. Some suggest that he exploded too young. If you have had an explosion in your life, perhaps a colleague or a pet, I can confidently say that this podcast will help you come to terms with the explosion.
Just what we all need to hear
Fr Sam is spot on with everything he says. God Bless you Sam.
