By Fr. Jerry Pokorsky, Catholic Culture - Revelation and Church teaching clarify God’s Commandments, which written on every heart (cf. Rom. 2:14-15). Our greatest life challenge is to recognize God’s supremacy as known through the Creed, Ten Commandments, and the sacraments... Pride tempts us to place ourselves above God’s law.

They expected to “be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Gen. 3:5) Pride distorts human nature and wrecks families, communities, and nations.

By Msgr. Charles Pope - The Sunday Gospel announces a critical Advent theme: While I want to comment primarily on the Reading from Isaiah, the Gospel admonition surely deserves some attention as well... Too many today hold the unbiblical idea that most if not all people are going to Heaven. For weeks now we have been reading parables in the Gospels in which the Lord Jesus warns that many (possibly even most) are not headed for Heaven.
