First Sunday of Advent

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. I give thanks to my God continuously for you because of the grace of God that has been given to you in Christ Jesus. By that grace, in all things, you have become wealthy in him, in every word and in all knowledge. And so, the testimony of Christ has been strengthened in you. In this way, nothing is lacking to you in any grace, as you await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. And he, too, will strengthen you, even until the end, without guilt, until the day of the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful. Through him, you have been called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
