Hi Saint Gang.
To my American friends on this list, Tomorrow is Thanksgiving so….Happy Thanksgiving. To my non American Friends on this list, tomorrow is Thursday so….Happy Thursday.
Remember Monday is November 30th it is the Feast of St. Andrew. The Sunday closest to Andrew’s feast day, before or after, is the first Sunday in Advent. So…this coming Sunday marks the first week in Advent, yes…already!
It has been a pretty challenging year so it may take a little effort trying to find things to be really thankful for. It is a challenge, but there are many blessings we all share. Try and emphasize them and live a joy filled life.
I will be on vacation next week, but bear in mind, Tuesday, 1 December is the feast of our little Saint Community’s Patron: the Vowel less, Saint Grwst
Anyhoo…Advent is the beginning of the new Church year. It is a time of preparation for the celebration of the Birth of Jesus, and a time to anticipate in joyful Hope his triumphal return.
