Advent

Thank you for your delicious, beautiful, & thoughtful contributions to our Christmas Care Packages, freshmen! They turned out very nice & we're sure that the recipients will be joyful to receive such a gift of love. Don't forget to say a few extra prayers or offer a sacrifice for the two prayer partners that you chose. They're the best gift!

There were lots of great ideas given for Advent resolutions & ways to prepare our hearts for Jesus' birth at Christmas. Here are a few:

~give up complaining

~say a special prayer everyday for your family

~do a Jesse Tree

~light an Advent wreath at mealtimes

~really focus at Mass

~offer up not playing COD for someone who is homeless

~pray a Rosary each week for a different person

~be extra kind to someone who doesn't have many friends

~write Christmas cards to our priests thanking them for their sacrifices to help us learn the Faith

~kneel while saying morning prayers

Have a Blessed Advent!
