In what concrete ways are you living your faith
through service to others?
During Advent, the Lord asks us to reflect on where our attention
lies. Our society says we are to strive to have everything now.
More is considered better. The struggle for more and new things
creates chaos in our lives and turns us in on ourselves. Today,
Jesus calls us to be vigilant keeping our focus on Christ so that we
recognize him and run to meet him, both in our daily lives and at
his final coming. How can I be more aware of Christ's presence in
my life (family, friends, co-workers, etc.)?

A Word from Our Ministry Team
What is advent?
The word ‘Advent’ comes from the Latin
‘adventus’ which means ‘coming’. Advent is
the beginning of a new liturgical year (in the
Western Churches), and encompasses the
span of time from the fourth Sunday before
Christmas until the celebration of the
Nativity of Our Lord. The first Sunday of
Advent is the Sunday nearest the feast of St. Andrew the Apostle
(which is November 30th), and so it will always fall somewhere
between November 27th at the earliest and December 3rd at the
latest. The liturgical color for this season is purple (usually a deep
purple as opposed to the lighter, red-violet shade of purple
associated with Lent).
Like Lent, Advent is a preparatory season. It has significance
because it is a season looking forward and waiting for something
greater; both for the annual celebration of the event of Christ’s
birth, and for the time when Christ will come again.
During Advent, the faithful are asked:
� to prepare themselves worthily to celebrate the anniversary of
the Lord’s coming into the world as the incarnate God of love,
� and thus to make their souls fitting abodes for the Redeemer
coming in Holy Communion and through grace.
Fr. Jamie Baca, CSP
Associate Director
