We have lit the second purple candle on the Advent Wreath signifying one Sunday closer to the Birth of Christ. Are you using your Advent Calendar? What are you doing to promote the coming of the birth of Christ in your home? Continuing the formation of relationships that build the Spirit of Christ in each other and attending Mass or your church service each Sunday to promote your relationship with Christ in communion with your neighbors is essential.
