How Should Your Advent Be Spent?

November 27, 2021 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: 11 November, Advent, Fr. Leonard Goffine, The Church’s Year 1 Comment

May we spend this Advent season befitting a true Christian.

“They should recall, during these four weeks, the four thousand years in which the just under the Old Law expected and desired the promised Redeemer, think of those days of darkness in which nearly all nations were blinded by saran and drawn into the most horrible crimes, then consider their own sins and evil deeds and purify their souls from them by a worthy reception of the Sacraments, so that our Lord may come with His grace to dwell in their hearts and be merciful to them in life and in death.

Unjust to themselves, disobedient to the Church and ungrateful, indeed, to God are those Christians who spend this solemn time of grace in sinful amusements without performing any good works, with no longing for Christ’s Advent into their hearts.”

PRAYER IN ADVENT
O God, who by Thy gracious Advent hast brought joy into this world, grant us, we beseech Thee, Thy grace to prepare ourselves by sincere penance for its celebration and for the Last Judgment.
Amen.

    Thank you for again making available the St. Andrew Novena printables.
    I print them out each Advent for my family and it is such a beautiful way to keep Advent prayerful. May God bless you and your family. Wishing you and your family a Blessed Advent.
