December 1, 2021THE ADVENT SEASON
The popular Catholic priest and writer Henri Nouwen once said, “In our personal lives, waiting is not a very popular pastime. Waiting is not something we anticipate or experience with great joy and gladness! Most of us consider waiting a waste of time. Perhaps this is because the culture in which we live is saying, "Get going! Do something! Show you can make a difference! Don't just sit there and wait!" Be countercultural this Advent. Slow Down and Pray. Take a moment to step into the chapel on the second floor to offer God a prayer today.
