The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/123025.cfm The mystery of Christmas overturns every illusion of self-salvation. God does not wait for humanity to climb back to Him. He comes down. Father Anthony Gramlich, MIC, draws us into this central truth of the Incarnation: Fallen humanity cannot raise itself by its own efforts. Grace is not something we generate. Redemption begins with divine humility.

The Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception present "Journey Through Advent" with Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC. In this series, Fr. Anthony will help us to dive deeper into the holy penitential season of Advent, preparing ourselves for Our Lord's Birth on Christmas. Join Fr. Anthony as he answers some of the burning questions you may have regarding this season, helping you to make this Advent season more fruitful and spiritually rewarding.

Father Anthony encourages us to call on God’s grace when we are lost and He will heal us and take care of us.
