Yesterday we looked at the readings for the Second Sunday of Advent, B Cycle. The discussion brought out how different members of our group observe Advent, their traditional family devotions and customs. I proposed that one way of looking at the injunction to ‘prepare the way of the Lord’ is to see it as a call to teach little ones about the meaning of Christmas, convey to them the family traditions surrounding Christmas, and facilitate and prepare their ‘way’ to Jesus, to having Him play a significant part in their lives, modeled on and imitating their elders.

Pastor instructing new sacristan:

“”If the altar server is a girl, put out pink flowers. If it’s a boy, put out blue flowers. If there are both boy and girl, whatever!”
