During Advent, we are encouraged to help bring the season’s promise and hope to others through our acts of charity. This season offers many opportunities to give a little extra time or treasure to help those less fortunate. According to Jesus, giving to others – especially the “least among us” – is the surest way to “store up treasure in heaven” and be truly prepared to meet the Lord.
We are highlighting a few meaningful opportunities for “Making Christmas Bright” in our local community.
During the days of Advent, let us try as much as possible to embrace the deeper meaning of this holy season. Let’s try to take advantage of the special opportunities to reflect, pray and serve the needs of others.
May God bless us as we celebrate this holy season and prepare once again for the coming of Christ.
— Fr. Rick
