Advent

The colour for all religious dress and liturgical decoration in the period of Advent is mainly purple. This means self-reformation. During the Mass, the part of Gloria is also cancelled to imply our waiting for the coming of Christ.

Chapter 40 of the Scripture from Isaiah clearly expressed the true meaning of Advent: “Prepare in the wilderness a road for the Lord! Clear the way in the desert for our Lord! Fill every valley; level every mountain. The hills will become a plain, and the rough country will be made smooth. Then the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and the whole human race will see it.”

During Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Christ of our Saviour. In real life, if every time we love one another; we are living the life of Christ in our midst.

When you read this article, I wish you could start at the present moment to live the life of Christ’s unconditional love “God, please grant us the courage and faith to follow your Holy Will”
