ADVENT- We Begin Again
Advent is the beginning of a new liturgical year; it is the preparation for the birth of Christ- the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. Incarnation, the coming to earth by the Son of God, whereby man can see, touch, know God through the presence of His Son. (Ad-toward; venturus-the one who is to come) Advent harkens man to become awake, alert, to watch carefully for the Messiah.

The season of Advent
Is like springtime in
Nature, when everything
Is renewed and so is fresh
And healthy. Advent is also
Meant to do this to us-
To refresh us and make us
Healthy. To be able to receive
Christ in whatever form
He may come to us.
Bl Teresa of Calcutta
