Good Night

I will be wandering around in dreamland to find a dream as I bids you all good night.

CHRISTmas

The best ways to keep Christ in Christmas
is to keep MASS in Christmas!

"I believe that Christmas is to celebrate the birth of the Son of God who came to live with us on Earth.
I believe that Christmas is the time for us to share Love of God Jesus Christ with people everywhere."

‎"Take time every day, to read a verse or two on the birth of Jesus. It puts things in perspective. Jesus is the reason for this holiday. Give Him recognition and honor, for HE is THE GIFT we ALL have been waiting for all our lives!" "Live the Word and save Santa the trip!"   Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy - forgiveness; To that frustrating co-worker - tolerance; To a friend - your heart; To a customer - service with a smile; To someone in need - charity; To every child - a good example; To yourself - respect; To a stranger - the Gospel. ...Have any others to share?

Advent

We begin a new liturgical year as we celebrate the First Sunday of Advent. Today's readings are set the pace for the weeks that follow.  They invite us to enter into a time of anticipation.  The Latin word adventus means coming or arrival.  and in this season, we celebrate Jesus' triple coming: his coming into human history when he was born of the Blessed Virgin Mary, his coming into our lives now in his Word and in the sacraments of his Church, and his coming in glory at the end of time.  The readings tell us how to anticipate his coming: be vigilant, be prepared, be hopeful.

Advent begins today!

So how do we celebrate the story of Christmas?

For me, celebrating Advent is a big part of telling the story of the First Christmas.

The Season of Advent begins four Sundays before Christmas.

Simple.  Lighting candles and reading scripture.

You need 5 candles and a bible.(3 purple, 1 rose and 1 white)

A Simple Life.

To all my friends:
May the Season of Advent fill your Hearts with Love, Joy and Peace.

Today is the first Sunday of Advent. In a 1996 Homily, Blessed Pope John Paul II said of Advent,
"Advent is the liturgical season that prepares us for the Lord's birth, but it is also the time of expectation for the definitive return of Christ."
