FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT – Cycle A . The Owner Must Watch.

 1. Advent is a continuation of Christ the King.
     From Advent to the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Holy Mother the Church, through Scriptures and the Fathers of the Church, had been teaching us the entire lesson on ‘how to attain everlasting life.’ The Sunday Masses give us a complete and clear idea on how to go about it. Of course, the daily Mass gives us a more complete knowledge of Catholic Doctrines but few go to daily Mass these days. 
      The three cycles, A, B and C should give us enough knowledge for each Catholic to be able to merit ‘everlasting life.’ But the problem is after going through the three cycles 15 times most Catholic still do not know the teachings of Christ as proposed by the Catholic Church. Because they do not learn the truths methodically or because their parish priests are not teaching the truths systematically. So we see, supposedly Catholic nations, completely ignorant of Catholic truths.

2. The two comings.
     There are two comings of Christ; His first coming on Christmas Day and His second coming at the end times, which is celebrated on Christ the King. Advent is supposed to be preparation for the first coming of Christ. While the Sundays after Pentecost through the Sundays in Ordinary Time are supposed to prepare us for the second coming of Christ, the day of the General Judgment. 
     But note that the Sundays of Advent no longer prepare us for the first coming of Christ. It continues to prepare us for the Second Coming of Christ, recalling the days of Noah and the flood. Let us set aside the two by twos where God will take one and leave the other and go directly on what we must do.
     When Christ first came He taught us how to love God and neighbor. The whole liturgical year consist in explaining how to love God and neighbor; i.e. up to the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time. During the Second Coming of Christ, the Divine Judge will check each of us whether we have loved God and neighbor. It is that simple. The Gospel for First Advent tells us to check if we have done that by behaving like a house owner who checks those who enter the house if they were thieves.
     Who did we allow to enter the house? Those who have obeyed Christ’s commands or the thieves who want to steal things from the house of God.
     St. Thomas of Aquinas wrote that the house is the soul of man. And the house keeper is the intellect.

3. The house keeper.
     The intellect is the house keeper who guards the main door. He checks that only the truth and the good enter the house. The false and the evil must be prevented from entering. 
     The Gospel warns us that the false and the evil will try to enter the main door but if the intellect is watchful, they will not be able to enter in which case they try to enter by another way. Let us set aside the other ways by which the false and the evil can enter; because they will really try to enter by another way.
     By the time we face Christ in Judgment Day only the true and the good must be inside the house. The true and the good are the virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity. These three virtues cleanses the soul and enhances it with the Love of God and neighbor. Such souls will surely merit everlasting life.

4. The house keeper is unable to stop the deluge of the false and the evil. The house of most Catholics are filled with thieves and filth. They have no chance of getting a favorable sentence from Christ on Judgment Day.
     Firstly; due to original sin and the neglect of present bishops and priests, Catholics do not know what is true from false and what is good from bad. Their lists are totally confused. So they end up calling the true false and the false true, etc. 
     Secondly; as Christ said, Satan is the prince of the world, and since he is the Father of lies, his world will never teach the truth and the good. Aside from not telling the truth, Satan and the world will tell lies. And if there is any truth in the world, it is suppressed or out right annihilated. Thus Christ said; ‘friendship with the world is enmity with Christ.’    Governments, mass media, and the men of the church, during these age, referred to by St. Bonaventure as the 6th day. will be liars like Satan their father. 
     Thirdly; they will be proud as the devil. They will be cruel murderers and lovers of money. And they will be worshippers of the devil their father; they will be lawless like Satan. 

     In today’s world all these evils have entered the house, the house keeper unable to stop them. Ordinarily in such a situation, the last beacon for Catholics is the Papacy. But like the 6th day, Good Friday, Judas was the pre-figure of a apostate bishop who will destroy the Church. Is Bergoglio, the man who does not want the title Pope but insist in calling himself just the bishop of Rome the prophesied bishop who will start the heretical one world religion to join the New world order and in together install the only god of such an arrangement, Lucifer? Hasn’t the symbols of Satan been appearing in the Vatican and in most of Bergoglio’s affairs? Hasn’t Robert Benson, Anglican convert and Catholic apocalyptic writer described perfectly the present situation of the collaboration between the NWO and the one world religion with Lucifer as its God and to be inaugurated by Pope Francis  next September? Were we not given a dry run in Cern, Switzerland of where the Church is going?

5.   The Great Chastisement.  
     The house keeper cannot let them in. They are thieves, as Christ said in the parable of the Good Shepherd; they come to steal from the Church members for their own religion. Thieves are priests, bishops, cardinals and Popes who steal Catholics away from the Church to make them join the new One World religion of which the Catholic church can never be a part; because its god is Lucifer.  
     This is the great chastisement worse than the next nuclear war. A war can only kill the body. But the complete inability of the house owner to exclude the thieves from entering the house is due to the fact that the leader of the thieves is the head of the new world religion, Pope Francis. With a Pope leading the immigrants the naive will surely open the main door. The unwatchful and incompetent house keeper will not be able to prevent the thieves from entering the main door. With the house full of thieves stealing souls away from God, the end of such a soul is surely eternal damnation. And most of us are like that, Advent is telling us.
