Remember Advent is like a mini Lent. It is a penitential season which is why the priest wears purple and we light purple advent candles. So like Lent, I invite you to look upon Advent as an opportunity for personal growth and conversion. To help facilitate this please consider enhancing you prayer life in some concrete way, as well as performing acts of selfdenial and works of charity towards those in need. When Christmas arrives we will be able to present these gifts to Jesus, giving both Him and ourselves interior joy ~ Fr. David
