Advent

12-4-14

November 30th, was the First Sunday of Advent. Let's first talk about the word and its meaning :  

Webster's New World Dictionary:
Advent,n. 1) period before Christmas 20 (A-) arrival


Catechism of the Catholic Church, pg. 132 (524)
When the Church celebrates the liturgy of Advent each year, she makes present this ancient expectancy of the Messiah, for by sharing in the long preparation for the  Savior's  first coming, the faithful renew their ardent desire for his second coming. By celebrating the precursor's birth and martyrdom, the Church unites herself to his desire. "He must increase, but I must decrease."
John 3:30

PS~ And remember, No lo pierdos  de vista / Don't lose sight of  Him
