Advent is short this year. This is your warning! The fourth week of Advent is a whopping one day long — just Sunday — and Christmas is the very next day.
You may not realize that the first Sunday of Advent is the first day of the Catholic liturgical year. It’s a beginning, not a culmination or a final push, or anything of the sort. So it’s a little odd to speak of whether or not we’re ready for Advent, because Advent is, itself, the preparation time. Nevertheless, it’s smart to stop and think just how we’re going to mark Advent as Catholics.

This Advent, Christian miserablists should look for joy and not combat, writes Simcha Fisher. Source: Pixabay
