Advent Resources
“Open wide your door to the one who comes. Open your soul, throw open the depths of your heart to see the riches of simplicity, the treasures of peace, the sweetness of grace. Open your heart and run to meet the Sun of eternal light that illuminates all men.”
St. Ambrose of Milan
Advent, like Lent, is a time of preparation. We prepare in the next weeks to celebrate the Feast of Christmas, the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Advent is an excellent time to surrender your cares and anxieties to the Lord, to add a bit more prayer into your daily routine, and slow down.
Below, you will find several Advent Resources to make use of during this season of preparation.
