What Is Advent Really About?

Today we’re talking about Advent and what it means for contemporary Catholics. Yes, Advent is the season we prepare for the celebration of Jesus’ birth on Christmas. But the truth is that we should welcome Christ into our hearts each day of the year and be ready for His glorious second coming. In this episode we discover that:  - It’s difficult to avoid the commercial aspects of Christmas.  - Our job is to respond to Christ’s sacrifice with belief, hope, and action.  - Prayer and sacraments support us on our faith journey throughout the year.
