Beginning the Church's liturgical year, Advent (from, "ad-venire" in Latin or "to come to") is the season encompassing the four weeks leading up to Christmas. The Advent season is a time of preparation and conversion that directs our hearts and minds to Christ’s second coming at the end of time and to the anniversary of Our Lord’s birth. Our Advent readings call us to be alert and ready, not weighted down and distracted by the cares of this world. This season is a bridge between the past, present, and future. It allows us to look back on the hope for the Savior of the World, experience the joy of his reign in the present through his Church, and to prepare ourselves for his glorious return at his Second Coming.
