First Week of Advent - Stand Erect!!

... when these signs begin to happen, 
stand erect and raise your heads 
because your redemption is at hand. (Lk 23:28)

---

My Brothers and Sisters,

Standing erect in our culture means having the courage say "no." 

Saying "no" to hate and "no" to some of the people who want to destroy the foundations upon which our country was created.  

In this challenge by God, we are also called to look "forward" to the hope of Christ's redemption for each and everyone of us – – Christmas.

Question around the Advent Wreath for the Domestic Church: 

 In what areas do we, as a Domestic Church married, single, and widowed,  have to say "no" so we can have a fulfilling Advent?

God bless you and your family,

Deacon Tom
