Advent Resources

Advent, the four weeks before Christmas, is a season to reflect on the amazing gift of Jesus to us: God, the creator of all that is, humbled Himself to become a human baby and subject Himself to all the confusion and woe that we have to contend with. He did it out of pure love for us, to draw us to himself. Here are some resources that can inspire your reflections on this amazing truth.
