ADVENT DIGEST with FR. PIUSRALPH EFFIONG, SMMM

FRIDAY OF THE SECOND WEEK OF ADVENT YEAR (C

Mystery of the day: Joyful

"O that you had listened to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea; your offspring would have been like the sand, and your descendants like its grains; their name would never be cut off or destroyed from before me." (Isaiah 48:18-19)

Obedience remains the signature of every follower. For one to be a good follower and at the same time receive the master's blessing, Obedience is needed.  

Today, in the second Isaiah a new phase of salvation history is being announced with a caveat

"O that you had listened to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea; your offspring would have been like the sand, and your descendants like its grains; their name would never be cut off or destroyed from before me." (Isaiah 48:18-19)

"Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams” (1 Sam. 15:22).
