December 1st is the first Sunday of the Advent Season. It is also the start of a new church or liturgical year, Cycle “C” during which the Gospel readings each Sunday will primarily focus on the Gospel according to Saint Luke. Advent gives us the opportunity to prepare ourselves, physically, emotionally and spiritually for the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Please resolve to spend a few minutes each day in prayer and reflection so that you may truly appreciate God’s great gift to His people, Eternal Life in the form of the Baby Jesus.
