Word for the weekend: Advent begins!

This coming weekend brings the First Sunday of Advent, the new year of grace on the Church calendar for 2009.

Here's a good "resolution" for the new year of worship: pledge to read and pray over the scriptures for the coming Sunday each week.

You can begin right here with this weekend's readings and background material on them, for greater understanding. One of the best ways to prepare for Mass is to become familiar with the scriptures we will hear.

Got kids? Here's a link to helpful info in preparing young ones to hear the Word at Mass on Sunday.
