It is the Season of Advent

Advent is a 40 day period of preparation and expectation of the Feast of the Nativity (Christmas).  This is a season of prayer and fasting as we humble ourselves in expectation of the Great Gift of Our Lord becoming incarnate in the flesh.

Our Lord, the Unspotted Sacrifice that who is, and will be acceptable to God as payment (by crucifixion) for the fallen (sinful) condition of humanity.  It is right for us to humble ourselves before such a great Gift!

The Advent Fast is the last multi-day fast of the year. It starts on November 28 (November 15, Old Style) and runs until January 7 (December 25, Old Style).

Let us all remember to love one another as He commands.
