The 2nd Advent: The Blessing of PEACE
ADVENT IS HERE! Rejoice, Behold, Prepare!
Service Description
🕊️🔥🙏 THE BIRTH OF OUR SAVIOR ACTIVATES THE AWAKENING OF THE CHRIST WITHIN YOU! Advent, from Latin "ADVENTUS" ~ "COMING" or "ARRIVAL", is a very special Christian season of preparation and celebration that lasts for four weeks, leading up to Christmas. It begins on the Sunday nearest to November 30 and involves reflection on the coming of Christ at his birth, while also anticipating his future return. A new candle is lit each Sunday of Advent, symbolizing spiritual preparation for the Sacred Birth of Our Savior. We will also participate all together in the Sacrament of Holy Communion every Sunday of Advent. "In the silence of a midwinter dusk, there is a sound so faint that for all you can tell it may be only the sound of the silence itself. You hold your breath to listen. You are aware of the beating of your heart. The extraordinary thing that is about to happen is matched only by the extraordinary moment just before it happens. Advent is the name of that moment." More than a countdown to Christmas, Advent embraces the way of The Living Christ and encourages Hopeful Waiting, Courageous Peace-making, Resilient Joy, and Self-giving Love in our still-suffering world. For all devotees of The Christ, Advent is the time of the deepest contemplation, prayer, penance and works of Mercy.
