In Advent, “God is waiting for our awakening.” The four weeks of this Season invite us explore this “awakening” through the reflective Advent Sunday videos and suggested Scripture for each day of the week. This time together is a Sacred Space that brings us to a deeper meaning of Christmas.
We Maryknoll Sisters wish you all the graces and blessings of this holy Season and pray that that the coming weeks draw you the hope, peace, joy and love that is Christmas. A blessed Advent to each one!
