Happy New Year! Today we start a new liturgical year, with the songs of Isaiah singing the praise of Advent. We begin this season of Advent with a spirit of expectation. We look forward not only to the birth of Jesus at Bethlehem but also for his second coming at the end of time.
Sometimes we can become so engrossed with preparations for Christmas – shopping, holiday get togethers, etc. that we forget the true reason for the season. As we enter the season of Advent, let us all reawaken with a new hope and a longing for a better future. A future of redemption for everyone.
Have a blessed week,
Fr. Matt
