John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness: attributed to Correggio (+1534)
Just a few days left to prepare for Mass for the Third Sunday of Advent by reading and studying the scriptures for this weekend's liturgy.
This Third Sunday marks our half-way point in Advent - time to light the rose candle on the Advent wreath!
How has the Advent season helped you prepare to celebrate Christmas? How's your Advent prayer? your Advent spirit? your Advent giving to those in need? Only 11 Advent days left!
It has been nice to watch the advent candles get smaller over the weeks; that means that my family is together at the family dinner table praying and sharing a meal together. This year I found some bible versus on line that my children read each night about the story of Jesus' birth. It has been really nice to talk about that every night. With the time that we have spent at the table and the candles burning away, we might have to get more candles before advent is over.
