We are already into the swing of things for Advent. I knew it was coming but (much like Lent) it always seems to come barreling in so fast and all of December can be a whirlwind. 

Nevertheless, this is, hands-down, my favorite time of year. 

Advent and Christmastide help us re-focus and remember what life is all about - Jesus Christ.

After all, as we learned in our catechism as chidlren, our purpose in life is to:

"Know Him, love Him and serve Him and to be happy with Him in this life and in the next."

It is easy to  get discouraged, distracted or forgetful at times. We are only human. We need supernatural help. And that is precisely why God, in His Infinite Wisdom, gave us His only begotten Son. 

We need Him for every breath we take, every heartbeat, every thought, word and deed - we need Him.

And He is gracious and loving and cannot be outdone in generosity. This season is when we see His Glory in the salvation of the world. Through a tiny newborn baby God gives us Himself - ALL of Himself.

No one will ever give you everything in life. But God will and God does and God already has. So be of good cheer, no matter what you are going through or what struggles you face. He has given you everything. You simply need to receive it with an open, loving and humble heart. We pray for you for all the blessings of the season and beyond.
