Advent is not primarily a penitential season but secondarily it is. Primarily, it is a time to focus our hearts on christ's arrival at the end of time and at Christmas.
Preparing for the Birth of Christ
Did Joseph want to do God's will in the way it unfolded? We might wish that things were different in our lives.
The Gift of the Nativity
