Advent in 2 minutes

Busted Halo is a website that presents Catholic teachings in different formats - and is involved in different forms of media. They have a radio show on Sirius Satellite radio's Catholic Channel, and Utube Videos.  One of the neat U Tube Video's was featured on the Archdioces of Toronto Blog this week:

I think that focusing on the coming of Christ daily in our lives is a way to see Advent in a new light.  That is what Catherine Ecker (our parish catechist) talked about at the family gathering at the end  of November where people made Advent Wreaths.

     God our caring Father,
     you who gave your beloved Son
     to ransom all people,
     see our human fears
     and love us anyway.
     Guide us through this season
     with quiet, glad anticipation.
     Help us to pay attention
     to the poor and needy,
     and to the lonely among us.
     Give us a spirit of reflection,
     patience with each other,
     and hearts brimming with thanks.
     We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Advent Peace
