“The magic of Christmas is not in the presents, but in His presence.” – Unknown
"To predispose our mind to welcome the Lord who, as we say in the Creed, one day will come to judge the living and the dead, we must learn to recognize him as present in the events of daily life. Therefore, Advent is, so to speak, an intense training that directs us decisively toward him who already came, who will come, and who comes continuously." ~ Pope John Paul II
Every year, Christmas is one of the most anticipated celebrations. It is a time for us to remember the birth of Christ and reflect on God's Holy plans of salvation for the human race. Catholics eagerly anticipate Christmas by spending the four weeks prior (Advent Season) in preparation for the coming of Christ.
Advent is the first season of the liturgical year. The word Advent comes from the Latin phrase "Adventus Domini", which means "coming' in Latin; it is a season of waiting for the arrival of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Commonly known to take place during the four weeks before Christmas, Christians are encouraged to prepare themselves for Christmas through fasting, prayer, and penance.
The short 4-week span of the Advent season holds significant meaning, it is the sweeping panorama of time- from Christ's birth to His second coming. During this season, we look at the personal life and experiences of Jesus, His teachings of how life can and should be. We ponder on how He formed the Church around the concept of a people held together by love. And we prepare ourselves so that when He comes again, we will be awake and watchful - He will not find us asleep.
LIFE is an ADVENT search for GOD.
Christ built a community for us to support each other in this tough journey of faith. Alone we can do nothing. Together we find real meaning. We need guidance to make the best out of Advent season. This being our purpose of creating this "Advent And Christmas Prayers" app
