The CTS Advent Calendar: Day 1
Here's what we found behind door number 1!
✨ Day 1 of Advent! ✨
The journey to Christmas begins! Today, we opened the first door of our Advent calendar and found:
- A reflection on the readings from the First Sunday of Advent from our book Prepare the Way of the Lord:
Advent is a season of preparation and hope, rooted in the Church’s early traditions as a time of fasting, prayer, and spiritual readiness for Christ’s coming. Through the liturgy, scripture, and sacraments, Advent calls us to awaken from spiritual complacency and prepare our hearts to encounter Christ.
