Prause be Jesus Christ!

Now and forever.

Advent invites us to prepare our hearts and minds for the celebration of Christ’s birth. It is a season that encourages us to embrace joy in the midst of our busy lives, reminding us that joy is not merely a fleeting emotion, but a deep-rooted state of being. This joy flourishes when we live in hope and great expectation, looking forward to the light that will soon break through the darkness.

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to lose sight of the magic surrounding Christmas. Yet, Advent calls us to slow down, to light a candle, and to take a moment to breathe. Each flicker of the flame symbolizes our hopes and dreams, illuminating the path ahead. As we light each candle—representing hope, peace, joy, and love—let us allow our hearts to overflow with the joy of anticipation.

Living in hope means believing in the possibilities that lie ahead. It’s about trusting that better days are coming, even when the world seems uncertain. During Advent, we are reminded of the promise of Christ’s coming, a promise that brings with it the assurance of renewal and redemption. This hope empowers us to face our challenges with courage, knowing that we are never alone.

Blessings,

Fr. Andrew
