Advent is a season of preparation. We prepare our hearts, families, and homes to celebrate the coming of the Christ Child. It’s also a season of waiting.
We wait to celebrate this joyous feast. We wait and keep watch, just like the disciples, for His return.
In the midst of this waiting, we are called to faith …to cultivate confident assurance in the One whose coming we anticipate.
We are called to hope … to look with joy for the fulfilment of the promises of God.
We are called to love … to give to others from the superabundance

Father in heaven, the day draws near when the glory of your Son will make radiant the night of the waiting world. May the darkness not blind us to the vision of wisdom which fills the minds of those who find him. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.

Amen.
