ADVENT is a time of opportunity when we are asked to prepare our hearts and minds for Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ.
Advent is a time when we are encouraged to make genuine sacrifices, not harsh and senseless practices, but enough to turn our heart and mind to God and prepare of the coming of his Son. We are encouraged to pause often and experience the presence of God in our being.
“The fruit of silence is prayer, the fruit of prayer is faith, the fruit of faith is love, the fruit of love is service, the fruit of service is peace ” Mother Teresa.
We begin the season of Advent in the new Liturgical Year C.
