Perhaps Advent has gone by quicker than we expected. We can still prepare intensely in these last days. **Confessions Monday evening from 7-9pm**

ADVENT & CHRISTMAS IS A YEAR-ROUND EVENT, a daily event (like Easter)

1. Waiting in hope.

2. God's plans not ours, after Mary's example (His are better)

3. His work, not ours.

• “It is not you who have chosen me, but I who have chosen you.”
• “And this is love: not that we have loved God, but that God has loved us.”

How can this be that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

God doesn't wait for us to be ready, and that is a Mercy.
