1st Sunday of Advent

November 27, 2022

A little description of the season:
We are most familiar with preparing for Christ’s coming at Christmas,
we are probably also aware that Advent focuses on Christ's return at the end of time.
Thirdly, we wait for Christ to come to us every day.
Thus, there are three comings of Christ that we wait for in Advent.
