What's Unique About Advent?
The world today is obsessed with the thought that we can save ourselves. Advent responds with a resounding, "No". No, we cannot save ourselves. Only the Lord can save us. We need his coming, his presence and his salvation.
This Advent, look for ways to prepare your heart and invite the Lord into it.

Word on Fire's The Liturgy of the Hours
Each year, we give thanks to God for the blessings of life during the Thanksgiving holiday, but shouldn't we be giving thanks to God daily?
Be it Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, or Night Prayer, each hour of the Divine Office draws us back to God and to thanksgiving.
You might wish to consider praying The Liturgy of the Hours and make every day a day of thanksgiving.
