The season of Advent is a time of preparation for the celebration of Our Lord's birth. It is a time to celebrate the way in which the Lord comes into our every day, and it is a time to look forward in hope to the second coming of Jesus in his glory. Advent, like Lent is also a time of heightened prayer, penance and preparation so that we may be truly ready for the Lord's coming.
