Advent can be a bit of a blur for most people. And yet, if you can give it a moment it can really make an impact on these last few weeks before Christmas. It is a time of opportunity - or grace as we would say in the Catholic tradition. God is coming and we cannot wait! But in the midst of the rushing, frenetic activities, how can we shift our focus?
In this podcast episode, we discuss the attitudes of the first family to do the first Advent, Mary, Joseph, and the Child. How did they stay calm and serene in the midst of so much uncertainty? Mary trusted everything would be okay even though there was no plan for the newborn. There seemed no angry outbursts on the part of Joseph even though he seemed to have failed in his first steps of fatherhood. We explore Advent as a time to prepare to love others as they are and to accept whatever our Christmas holds because God is coming to us where we are and we can always love others because we are always loved by God.
