Jesus Christ is the joy and happiness of all who look forward to his coming. Let us call upon him and say:
Come, Lord, and do not delay!
In joy, we wait for your coming;
— come, Lord Jesus.
Come, Lord, and do not delay!
Before time began, you shared life with the Father,
— come now and save us.
Come, Lord, and do not delay!
You created the world and all who live in it,
— come to redeem the work of your hands.
Come, Lord, and do not delay!
You did not hesitate to become man, subject to death,
— come to free us from the power of death.
Come, Lord, and do not delay!
You came to give us life to the full,
— come and give us your unending life.
Come, Lord, and do not delay!
You desire all people to live in love in your kingdom,
— come and bring together those who long to see you face to face.
Come, Lord, and do not delay!

The End of the World: An Advent Reflection
The Catholic Church traditionally teaches us the Four Last Things (Death, Purgatory, Heaven, Hell) and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ during the Season of Advent. However, many Catholics still avert from such topics because they are frightened of these things. My Reflection this Advent on the End of the World aims to give awareness and more insights into these truths, which we must face sooner or later. My piece also includes a Personal Message to my dear Readers.
The Series starts with Saint Teresa of Avila, Doctor of the Church. Who would have thought that the great Mystic and Contemplative used to battle personal sins of worldliness? This piece I wrote contains the narrative of it and a unique ‘My Reflection’ that is thought-provoking and eye-opening.
Our aim is to help Catholics strengthen their spiritual life, deepen their understanding of the faith, and intensify their holiness by catechesis and a variety of Catholic information.
TheBestCatholic.com aspires to be an instrument of evangelization.We are all pilgrims of the earth, striving towards salvation.It is our fervent prayer that by God’s grace, we will be “The Best Catholic” we can ever become.
