Welcome to Advent 2020

What Is It?

Advent is a precious gift of the Church to help us prepare our hearts to ponder anew the coming of Jesus Christ. To help us make the most of this Season of Waiting, Advent2020 will send out a daily email.

Each day's message will contain:

Reflection - by St. John Paul II to help us deepen our understanding of the season.
Scripture - to encourage us to open our Bibles.
Focus Prayer - a take-away prayer for the day.
An Advent Action - challenge to do a small action each day.
Advent Video - a song and/or reflection on the day's meditation.
Jesse Tree - Each day will have a Biblical figure or prophecy that point to the coming of the Messiah.

Today, we begin our journey...

Jesse Tree: Creation

Genesis 1: 1-31; 2: 1-4

Every day during Advent we will feature in this spot an image from the Jesse Tree. The Jesse tree is named from Isaiah 11:1: “A shoot shall come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots.” Jesse was the father of King David. The symbols of the Jesse Tree represent the people, prophesies, and events leading up to the birth of Jesus, as foretold in the Old Testament of the Bible.

We encourage you to read the scripture passage each day in order to deepen your understanding of Jesus.

Blessed Journey!
