Advent 2013

Advent is the preparatory season for Christmas. The color purple is the same as that of Lent and reminds us of the royalty of Christ The King, whose coming we celebrate in glad anticipation. We celebrate not only His holy birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary, protected by great Saint Joseph, but also we are preparing for His return on the clouds of glory, when every eye shall see Him!

This season reminds us that we must be ready at any time to come before the Lord. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not promised, we have only today. This is the day the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Prepare our humble hearts, O Lord for Your precious coming in the stable of Bethlehem. Keep us ready, also for Your Second Coming and especially for the day when You call each of us Home. You have told us, dearest Lord, that in Your House are many mansions; May we deserve, by Your merits, to inhabit that special place You have intended for us from the very foundation of the world! For You shall come and take us to Yourself, that where You are, there we will be also. How wonderful and grand is this magnificent promise! We are filled with the gratitude of Love, O Jesus, Lord and Saviour of Souls! Amen,
