"Advent" ...is taken from the Latin word "adventus," meaning "coming."
During the season of Advent, we are called to prepare ourselves, it's a season that teaches the value of waiting and patience. We are not called to passive waiting, but to using our time to prepare and anticipate. Just as we take time to prepare a special dinner or dress the nursery for a new baby, in Advent we prepare our hearts to welcome the Christ.
May “peace on earth, good will to mankind”
be more than a season, may it be a way of life.
