Advent – A time of expectation and hope. We prepare ourselves spiritually to celebrate the first coming of or Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The only son of God, born on Christmas Day over two thousand years ago. We also prepare ourselves for the second coming of Jesus Christ at the end of time. What do we expect from this sacred season? The larger question is what does our faith call us to do during this time? It is a time to renew and strengthen our faith, hope and love in Jesus Christ. To prepare our heart to welcome the Christ anew into our lives, our homes, our communities. It is a time of love, healing, peace and reconciliation. A time to renew our hope. Without hope we see nothing more than this life. As followers of Jesus Christ we believe and know that there is more to us and life than what we see, hear, and touch. We are on a pilgrimage, A journey to the Kingdom of God.
An eternal and Universal Kingdom
A Kingdom of Truth and Life
A Kingdom of Holiness and Grace
A Kingdom of Justice – Love and Peace
My Brothers and Sisters let us use this time to prepare for a re-awakening of our faith. To prepare our heart to receive our Savior. To prepare ourselves to be reborn in Jesus Christ. To give praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for the gift of Jesus the Lord and our Catholic Christian Faith.
