WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR ADVENT THIS YEAR?

From the Latin word adventus, Advent means “arrival” or “coming” of Jesus as human into the world. Are you ready? This season of grace begins this Sunday. It isn’t about rushing about or adding to the list of things to do. It is a special time of joyful anticipation, a time of waiting for the Christ Child. What are you doing for Advent this year? What would Advent be like if you decided to set aside 10 minutes a day for quiet prayer? You could even break the ten minutes up into smaller segments throughout your day. This special prayer time will help you to be more focused on the true meaning of this season as you prepare a place in your heart for the coming of the Christ Child. After Christmas, you may find that you want to continue the quiet intimacy of prayer with our Lord. You might just want to make this your New Year’s Resolution! SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION – Every Monday in Advent – Nov. 28th; Dec. 5th, 12th, and 19th from 7 to 8:30pm and every Saturday, 4 to 5pm.
