Advent is a season of preparation for the coming of the Lord. Penitence goes naturally hand in hand with this preparation. On Christmas we commemorate the birth of Christ. As post Resurrection Christians we know the birth of Christ led to the Sacrifice of Christ and ultimately His Resurrection and Ascension - breaking the bonds of death and opening the gates of Heaven. In this fuller light then, we also prepare during Advent for the Second Coming of Christ and it is in this particular preparation that we look within ourselves to determine if we are ready to meet the One who wrought our Salvation. The Sacrament of Confession is the final step in this preparation, cleansing us anew and assuring Our Lord will know us when He comes.
