To Christ the Lord, who was born of the Virgin Mary, let us pray with joyful hearts:
Come, Lord Jesus!
Lord Jesus, in the mystery of your incarnation you revealed your glory to the world,
— give us new life by your coming.
Come, Lord Jesus!
You have taken our weakness upon yourself,
— grant us your mercy.
Come, Lord Jesus!
You redeemed the world from sin by your first coming in humility,
— free us from all guilt when you come again in glory.
Come, Lord Jesus!
You live and rule over all,
— in your goodness bring us to our eternal inheritance.
Come, Lord Jesus!
You sit at the right hand of the Father,
— gladden the souls of the dead with your light.
Come, Lord Jesus!

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.
