Having a baby in the house during Advent has radically altered my perspective of preparing for Christmas.
Each Christmas should fill us with the same joy and wonder that the shepherds had upon hearing the angels that first Christmas.
It is a season to journey to Jesus and to prepare ourselves to present our gifts to him.
The Savior came on that first Christmas to bring us salvation; he will come to us spiritually this Christmas if we open our hearts to him.
Advent is a time to align our hearts with the hope of Christ’s coming.
See the Church’s seasons through the eyes of the Church rather than those of the world.
Until recent decades, Catholics commonly did penitential acts of self-denial to prepare themselves spiritually for the coming of Jesus. Some think it’s high time we revived that centuries-old tradition.
The season is much more than just being ‘slightly more spiritual,’ says Father Schmitz.
