Advent, from the Latin adventus, "coming", is the season in which Christians wait in joyful hope for the birth or coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Advent begins Sunday, December 2, 2012. As we prepare for this Advent Season, questions we may want to consider is how will we celebrate the Advent Season and how can we enrich our prayer lives after Advent ends? Many of our parishes offer special Advent Services in addition to mass. Haven't been to mass in a while, now is a great time to begin again! Visit http://masstimes.org/ to find a local parish by you!
Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign; the young woman, pregnant and about to bear a son, shall name him Emmanuel."
Here are some other great suggestions/online resources to help enrich your Advent Journey.
- Pray the Rosary during Advent...after Advent ends, why stop?
- Sign up for daily Advent Reflections from Fr. Ron Rolheiser, Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate.
