On the 1st Sunday of Advent, we welcome you on a journey that takes us through the beautiful intricacies of the Advent season. This episode is a call to prepare our hearts and minds for Christmas, a time of joy, peace, and divine love. We unwrap the liturgical nuances of Advent, from the absence of the Gloria to the donning of purple vestments. As we light each candle on the Advent wreath – symbols of hope, joy, peace, and love – we realize the deep significance of prayer, a divine dialogue, a response to God’s thirst for us. Drawing wisdom from saints and teachings from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we delve into the origins of prayer, helping us deepen our communion with God during Advent.
As we conclude this enlightening episode, we encourage you to intensify your focus on prayer during Advent, preparing your heart for the divine encounter. Is there a better way to await the Lord's coming?
