The Season of Advent
We start the new liturgical year with this season of expectation, hope, promise and fulfillment! The Season of Advent gives you and me the space and time to reflect on the goodness of the Lord who will come again in glory with salvation for us, and who came in time at that first Christmas to give us the hope that carries us forward each day. The words of the second reading for this weekend are a wonderful source of inspiration and encouragement as we begin Advent together.
“Brothers and Sisters: May the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we have for you, so as to strengthen your hearts, to be blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his holy ones. Amen.” (1Thessalonians 3:12-13)
I hope you have all received your Advent/Christmas schedule in the mail and that the activities and times of prayer will be source of grace and peace for all. If you did not get one, please contact the Front Office.
Monsignor John Urell
