Advent

Advent is the period before Christmas, preparing us for the coming of the son of God. We need to quiet down, make an examination of conscience and live Advent the Catholic way by going to morning masses, the so-called “rorats. Priests going out of their way to help us remember have invented such trinkets, which we can buy in religious stores. These include controls for the rorations, a paper Advent lantern, a plastic Advent lantern and a sheet lantern. In Advent, we have time to repent, repent and improve our lives. The Advent season is a period of spiritual purification and spiritual preparation for the rest of our lives.
