The Catholic Files with Fr. Sean Donnelly Pastor of Immaculate Conception Church, Madison, Ohio

Step into the quiet hope of the season as Fr. Sean Donnelly reflects on the First Week of Advent through a powerful past homily. In this episode of The Catholic Files, Fr. Donnelly reminds us that Advent is more than a countdown to Christmas as it is a sacred invitation to awaken our hearts, deepen our longing for Christ, and prepare a place for Him within our daily lives.

With gentle wisdom and pastoral warmth, he guides us to pause, to pray, and to renew our trust in God's promises. As the first candle of the Advent wreath is lit, Fr. Donnelly encourages us to let its flame become a symbol of God's light breaking into every corner of our lives.

Listen, be inspired, and allow this Advent message to help you begin the season with hope, expectation, and a renewed love for the Lord.
