Advent Reflections

Advent is a time of anticipation and reflection, as we journey toward the celebration of Jesus’ birth.

Here, Fr. John Fisher, OSFS, shares his reflections on the traditional weekly themes of the season. Each week, a candle is lit that focuses on a virtue or quality that helps us prepare for Christmas:

Week 1 - Hope: Reflects on the hope of Christ’s coming and God’s promises of redemption.

Week 2 - Peace: Embracing the peace that Christ brings and seeing peace in our lives.

Week 3 - Joy: Rejoicing in the anticipation of Jesus' birth.

Week 4 - Love: Focusing on remembering God’s love for us and how we can show that love to others.
