In Advent! We are encouraged to look to the Future with confidence, in Hope

We started the Advent Season, since yesterday, Sunday 3rd, December,2023: A Privileged Time of Prayer, Waiting, Trust and Hope.

The Liturgy invites us to Renew our Faith in Jesus Christ, the Light of the World. To Rejoice. Jesus Christ comes to Illuminate the Spiritual Darkness of all Creation, he comes to Illuminate the Darkness of our World that Television makes us know in live!

So how will I make sense of my Journey towards Christmas? What does it mean to me to «Watch» in Faith?

What is my Hope at the beginning of Advent?

Many means are available to us, to deepen this step towards Christmas, on the Internet, in various Magazines or Spiritual Subscriptions … undoubtedly all we can perhaps not devote a time of Retreat or a Weekend to “Settle Down”…. but why not take every day a “Breathing Time” to join Him towards whom we walk.

I share the address of a site (in English, French, and Spanish) that is a Mine of Tools, Videos, Songs, Texts to live well this Advent Season:

Brother Philippe Blot of Kupang (Indonesia) prepared an Advent Calendar: 5 minutes per day… one minute to Contemplate an Image… one minute to Read a Quote from Jean-Marie de La Mennais… a minute to Discover an Aspect of Mennaisian Pedagogy… a minute to Pray… and a minute to Write and Remember a Word, a Sentence… and even a BONUS to share with those around us, gathered around the Advent Wreath every Sunday…

Good Time for Advent Season 2023 !
