ADVENT | December 1 – December 24

Advent, from the Latin adventus, means “coming” or “visitation.” As followers of Jesus Christ, we live in between two visitations: the first coming of the Son of God in Bethlehem and his long-awaited second coming. We are waiting for the “day of the Lord,” when creation will be healed, the dead will be raised, and all of us together will be ushered into the life of the world to come. This waiting frames our experience in this preparatory, watchful, somber, and joyful season before the luminous celebrations of Christmas and Epiphany.
