Responding to the Mass of the first Sunday of Advent

The season of Advent is often peppered with Christmas Carols and songs…

The more subtle and tentative sensibility of Advent can easily be overlooked.

Thank God for Handel’s Messiah that explores the themes of the season, and its longings.

Watch and listen here…

Take the time, and notice your own longings and yearnings… Bring them to the Lord in prayer and meditation.
