Advent Begins

Sunday, November 29, 2020

"Advent is a reminder of those nine months of prayer in which surely Mary engaged, praying to the Father, praying to the Son within her, awaiting his advent, awaiting his birth on Christmas Day."

John Cardinal O'Connor

For Mary, Advent wasn't just four weeks but nine months!

During those nine months Mary prayed with trust and hope.

In these past nine months of the pandemic, have we trusted and hoped like Mary?

She is the perfect example of trust and hope.

In our uncertainty and anxiety of what is to come, we can seek Mary's intercession.

Watch, pray and stay awake!

Prepare your hearts for the first advent and prepare your souls for the second advent.

"That will be the advent hope will assure us of eternal happiness." Cardinal O'Connor
