A Better Me: The Liturgical Season of Advent


   Isn’t God good?  How good God is and how much He loves each one of us!  He allows for each of us a certain number of years on this earth. It can seem to be a long time but it is nothing in its relation to eternity.  And yet, this time on earth is extremely important since it is the period of our beginnings, of our becoming full and faithful children of God, of our being tested, of our struggling to discern and to do God the Father’s will, of our being sinners and often needing to return to God through acts of contrition (sorrow of love) and through the Sacrament of Penance (Confession).

 God gives us grace which is a participation in God’s very “life”-the divine life of the three Persons of the Blessed Trinity.  On this earth God wants, and helps, us to identify ourselves with Jesus Christ and to become more and more like Him.  In the meantime, through Baptism, we live in Christ and the Holy Spirit works in us to bring about a profound union with Christ so that Jesus can, through his Mystical Body, give praise, glory and Love to God the Father.
