Almighty God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness and put upon us the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious Majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal, through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, now and forever. AMEN.
I hope we all take the time, this busy Advent season, to take advantage of the talks, retreats, and extraordinary musical presentations at our parishes.An often overlooked and “taken for granted” gift.Take a friend. Share the warmth.
