I wish you a very blessed and happy Advent.
Peace!

An Advent Prayer
God of Love,
Your son, Jesus,
is your greatest gift to us.
He is a sign of your love.
Help us walk in that love
during the weeks of Advent,
As we wait and prepare
for his coming.
We pray in the name of Jesus, our Savior.
Amen.(Loyola Press)
In these busy days before Christmas, take some time to let the Season of Advent bring some light, hope, freedom and peace to you and your family. Are you looking for ways to enter more deeply into this Advent? Try Praying Advent.
Did you know? While are always four Sundays of Advent, the liturgical Season of Advent can be between three and four weeks long depending on the day of the week that Christmas falls. This year, with Christmas on a Sunday, we will have the longest possible Advent season in which to prepare our hearts for the coming of the Lord.
