O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

The coronavirus pandemic, Hurricanes Laura & Delta, social unrest, political bickering, uncertainties brought about by the recent elections - these and many other factors have dampened our spirits, made us weary, tired, anxious, and even despairing.

How can we see the past with a supernatural outlook? How can we forge towards the future with hope? How can we live the present moment with joyful expectation for the coming of our Savior?

During these three nights of our Advent mission, we will learn valuable lessons from Our Lady and ask her powerful intercession as we await the coming of Christ, the Light that dispels the darkness of this world!

Our Blessed Mother’s message given through Fr. Stefano Gobbi at the beginning of Advent, November 28, 1987 in Como, Italy:  Begin this period of Advent with me! Surrounded by my immaculate light, which spreads itself everywhere like the dawn to announce the coming of Christ, prepare yourselves to receive with joy the Lord who is coming… Prepare yourselves with me to live, in peace, in silence and in trembling expectation, the liturgical remembrance of His birth. In this time of preparation, let faith increase, hope be illumined, charity be strengthened and your prayer become more intense. Prepare yourselves with me for the coming of Jesus, which is realized each day in the mystery of His real Eucharistic presence… Open your souls to receive the gifts of His grace and of His love. Throw open the doors of your hearts, to offer Him a warm dwelling place of love… Prepare yourselves with me for His return in glory!
