Advent is a Latin word meaning the coming or arrival. The
season of Advent is a time to prepare to celebrate the
three arrivals of Christ: his lowly birth in the past, his
mysterious coming to the Christian community in the
present, and his promised return as our judge at the end
of time.
Since Advent looks forward to Christ’s incarnation and
birth, it is an appropriate way to begin the church year.
However, Advent is not part of the Christmas season
itself, but a preparation for it. Thus, Catholics do not sing
Christmas hymns or use Christmas readings in the Mass
until December 25, the first day of the Christmas season.
Faith Moment Reflection
Shout for joy! Sing joyfully! Rejoice! Be filled with
expectation! The readings today are filled with joy. And
they tell us that we should be, too. Because the Lord is
near. For Christians, this is a season of happiness. But
the scriptures are describing an unimaginable joy that
surpasses our understanding. They tell us God sings
joyfully because of us, His children. And He wants every
one of us to share in that joy. In the life and example of
Jesus Christ, He shows us how. We share in God's joy
when we give to others, when we feed the hungry, visit
the lonely, comfort the sick, and tend to those in need.
God's joy, peace and love are not limited to one season.
They are timeless and eternal gifts to be shared every day
of our lives. Let’s follow the example of Jesus and bring
joy to the world.
Jesus’s first miracle takes place at the wedding feast
of Cana. Jesus changes water into wine – He changes
the ordinary into the extraordinary. Every marriage,
whether months or 45 plus years, can go from ordinary to
extraordinary. For a free packet filled with prayers,
articles, and resources to enrich your marriage, contact
the Office of Family Life Ministries at 716-847-2210 or
email [email protected].
Marriage Moment. “Rejoice in the Lord always…the Lord
is near.” (Philippians 4:4-5) Sometimes pressure
preparing for Christmas can blind us to what’s really
important. Start by remembering that Christ lives in your
beloved. Pause. Take time to rejoice in each other today.
Parenting Perspective. As your family prepares
Christmas gifts for each other, this is a good time to
discuss with your child how to share their older but still
good toys, clothes, etc. with each other or to donate them
for others who don’t have any. “Whoever has two cloaks
should share with the person who has none.” (Luke 3-11)
