Advent is the season when we prepare to celebrate the Birth of Jesus
on Christmas. The weeks leading up to Christmas are usually very busy
with shopping, decorating, wrapping … The season of Advent reminds
us to slow down and focus on the true meaning of Christmas. I will
try to grow closer to God this Advent season by spending more time in
prayer. Even just a few extra minutes of prayer each day to thank God
for all the many blessings that I have in my life will help my
relationship with God to become stronger. I also will try to listen
more carefully to the readings and homily at Sunday Mass. In
addition, I will try to reach out to help those in need this season by
donating new clothes and toys to my parish’s Christmas Sponsor a
Family Program. Finally, I am going to try my best to be nice to
everyone. I hope that doing these things will help to make my Advent
more meaningful and to bring me closer to Jesus.
