Advent

Advent continues. We continue to wait. We continue to hope. We continue to trust. We are an Advent people, a people who wait excitedly for the coming of our Lord, for the light that will shatter darkness.

The people that walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those who lived in a land as dark
as death
a light has dawned.
You have increased their joy
and given them gladness;
They rejoice in your presence
as those who rejoice at harvest
Is. 9:1-2

Here are some good Advent resources as we proceed toward Christmas.

Catholic.org offers the meditation "Why We Need Advent" among many other Advent themed articles and resources.

The website "Stumbling After Francis, Learning to Live a Capuchin Life "offers weekly Advent Meditations.
