GOD IS WITH US CASTING CHRIST'S ADVENT LIGHT TO DISPEL THE DARKNESS...........

As we patiently wait with Advent Hope in the Lord's Coming now, at Christmas, and the end of time, our Watching and Waiting to embrace the Saving Power of Jesus The Christ, must be rooted in Prayer.  And as Advent People following in the Light leading to the Lord Jesus, in the words of the late, illustrious, Belgian Catholic-Christian spirituality writer, Henri Nouwen, "Prayer requires that we stand in God's presence with open hands, naked and vulnerable, proclaiming to ourselves and to others that without God we can do nothing".  Advent is a season of expectation, and so we should take time for making prayer a priority.  How brightly is the Light of Prayer burning in the home of your hearts this Advent of the Lord ?  As we journey forth through the middle of this second week of Advent may the Prayer you commit yourself to, enlighten your path to Christ's Coming, "Yesterday, Today, and Forever"...........Fr.  Troy
