“Advent is synonymous with hope, not the vain waiting for a faceless god, but concrete and certain trust in the return of him who has already visited us.”
– Saint Pope John Paul II
INTENTIONS FOR ADVENT
- say the Saint Andrew Christmas novena
- attend the local Christmas parade
- lay wreaths on veterans’ graves at the cemetery
- address and mail Christmas cards
- bake three new kinds of cookies
- keep up with a December Daily album
- decide on outfits for Christmas Eve Mass
- use up the wrapping paper I already own before buying new rolls
- SLOW DOWN and enjoy this time of year
I have a few posts to publish this month, but will mostly be busy preparing my home and heart for Christmas. I’ll be back to regularly scheduled programming in the new year! Wishing you a peaceful Advent season. XOXO
