ADVENT IS HERE! Our whole life should be an "advent," in vigilant expectation of Christ's final coming. To prepare our hearts to welcome the Lord…we must learn to recognize his presence in the events of daily life. Advent is then a period of intense training that directs us decisively to the One who has already come, who will come and who continuously comes. ~ St. John Paul II |
