In this homily on the First Sunday of Advent, The Rev. John Kelly, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church explains that the season of Advent is a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus and to prepare for his return. Jesus brought light and hope into the world and helps us to put aside darkness symbolized by estrangement and sin. We should turn on our lights to show that Jesus is the reason for the season.
