THE ADVENT SEASON On the first Sunday of Advent, the Gospel reading reminded us to be “vigilant at all times.” The Scriptures tell us that we should not let the anxieties of life cause us to become weary as we wait for the Lord’s return. Let this season of Advent be a time of change and new beginnings. Let it be a time of joy and a time of hope for each of us. Only God can take the broken pieces of our lives and put them back together again. Through this Advent, we must listen to the angels who sing- Glory, Glory, and Glory to the newborn King! Come, Lord Jesus. Source: https://spiritans.org/news/reflection-for-the-1st-sunday-of-advent-november-28-2021 Announcements for Friday, December 3, 2021 - Today is an A day.
