Advent - A time of Anticipation

Advent is a time of anticipation, a time to give concrete form to spiritual concepts.

It is a time when feelings become gifts, thoughts become prayers, and faith becomes loving action.

It is a time when we remember that God's gift of light became known to us through Jesus Christ.

As quietly as the winter steals upon us, this season of light approaches.

We wait for our Redeemer, for God's promises to be fulfilled.

The day is coming quickly!
The God of mercy draws near.

Therefore we wait with joy, attentive to all the signs of God's coming.
