The Second Week of Advent
This weekend three candles are lighted on the advent wreath, note there's a pink one. It’s a symbol of joy in what is to come! The beatitudes reminded us of action we could do as we prepare for the birth of Jesus. Following His way of life should be joyous. As Christians we have responsibilities to our neighbors. The next several days will focus on the 10 commandments as other calls to action. The first three commandments speak of our relationship to God.
Challenge: Think about your faith journey. In what way does being Catholic impact you? Would a casual acquaintance know you are Catholic? Should they?
