Advent Is Here

We are neither expert or novice when it comes to Catholicism but we do know that Advent marks the beginning of a new year in the Catholic Church. It also marks the beginning of our waiting - waiting for Christ to come again, waiting to celebrate his birth, but we don't have to wait for him to come to us now. Through the Holy Spirit we can experience the love and grace of God during our time here on earth. 

This is a busy time for all - Catholic, non-Catholic, or agnostic - but do not forget that this season is about love and peace on earth. Love your neighbor as yourself and strive for peace - in your home, in your community, in your state, in your country, and in the world.

God bless you in all you do - in all the people you touch today and tomorrow and God bless your family and friends. Even if we do not talk or see one another this Christmas season, know we remember and love you very much. Merry Christmas (yep, I say that instead of happy holidays) and have a spectacular New Year - 2013 is bound to be an amazing year!
