Advent

The season of Advent is an opportunity for us to train ourselves to be spiritually stronger. Do something every day this Advent to focus on the Lord, even if it's just a minute or two, to help redirect you from the traps in our everyday lives.

The Holy Family teaches us to be adaptable; to love each other, even when things don't go as planned, and to grow in that love; and to be open to whomever God sends to be part of our family.

Take a few minutes this week to gaze at the Nativity scene (either at home or a photo online) and pray the Our Father, asking God to help us to see as God sees.
