Preparing for the Coming Messiah in Advent: The Fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets

Preparing for the Coming Messiah in Advent: The Fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets Today’s Gospel reveals that Elijah has already come in the person of John the Baptist, . . . . . . though he was not recognized and was rejected, just as Jesus Himself will be. John fulfills Elijah’s mission: preparing hearts for the coming of the Messiah through repentance and reconciliation. Advent, therefore, is not merely waiting, but an active turning of hearts . . . first toward God and then toward one another, especially within families where division and hurt often arise. Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s plan revealed through the Law and the Prophets. Like St. Lucy, believers are called to make a decisive choice for God, rejecting spiritual complacency and committing fully to Christ as they prepare for His coming. Listen to Elijah’s mission.
