Sunday, November 29, marked the first Sunday of Advent. As we journey through this season of hope and joy, may we reflect on the words of Pope Francis and be re...minded to invite Jesus into our hearts: "Advent is the season for remembering the closeness of God who came down to dwell in our midst. Let us make the traditional Advent prayer our own: ‘Come, Lord Jesus.’ We can say it at the beginning of each day and repeat it often, before our meetings, our studies and our work, before making decisions, in every important or difficult moment of our lives: ‘Come, Lord Jesus.’ - Pope Francis #CDSBEOFaith #Advent
