Season of Advent

Advent is not just four weeks in which to prepare for Christmas. Advent is the Church’s life. Advent is Christ’s presence and will bring about God’s true reign, telling humanity, that Isaiah’s prophecy is now fulfilled: Emmanuel–God with us. This blessed season of Advent provides us with ample time and resources for a deep spiritual preparation. Let us make every effort to make this blessed season a meaningful one for the people as well as for ourselves.
