Watch, therefore; you do not
know when the Lord of the
house is coming, whether in
the evening, or at midnight,
or at cockcrow, or in the
morning. May he not come
suddenly and find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say
to all: ‘Watch!’”

Meaningful ways to prepare for Advent
WHAT DOES ADVENT MEAN?
Advent derives from the Latin adventus meaning
‘arrival’ or ‘approach’. For thousands of years
the world waited for the coming of the Messiah
to redeem and to save the human race, restoring
mankind’s relationship to God. We, too, experience this same longing for the coming of Christ.
Spiritually, we long for the coming of Christ into
our hearts as the Holy Spirit draws us into ever
deepening relationship with Him; we also long
for Christ in his Second Coming, when He will
return physically to earth—as He promised—to
restore all things to Himself.
Therefore the Advent season has these characteristics: it is a season of hopeful longing, joyful
expectation, and prayerful preparation that looks
to the past, the present, and the future. Advent
connects us spiritually with God’s plan of redemption through Jesus Christ.
POPULAR ADVENT TRADITIONS
1. Advent Wreath: One of the most popular ways to
celebrate Advent is with anAdvent wreath or Advent candleholders. Four candles (three purple and
one pink), are used to count down the weeks until
Christmas. Each Sunday of Advent one of the candles is lit and special prayers are said. Each Sunday
of Advent has a particular theme leading up to the
birth of Christ. Read more about the Advent Wreath
Tradition and Meaning.
2. Advent Devotional Reading: There are lots of
great Advent books that take you deeper into the
profound theology of Advent. God comes to us as a
Child, and this is amazing to think about! Going
through each day with devotional reading is one of
the best ways to spiritually prepare yourself for
Christmas, the birth of the King of Kings.
3. Special Prayers: Adopt special prayers during the
Advent season. You can often find them in Advent
devotional books. There is also the St. Andrew
Christmas Novenawhich is traditionally prayed from
the feast of St. Andrew (November 30th) until Christmas Eve.
4. Nativity Scenes: Nativity sets are a classic tradition and are great to display during the Advent season. To make the display especially poignant, wait
until Christmas Eve to place the Baby Jesus into the
scene. The Vatican has a neat tradition of the Holy
Father blessing the Baby Jesus from family nativity
scenes, called Bambinelli Sunday. This takes place
on the third Sunday of Advent—Gaudete Sunday.
Perhaps you could ask your parish priest to bless
your Baby Jesus figure!
5. Advent Penance Services: Advent is known as
the “little Lent” and is therefore a time for penitential
practices. Many Catholic parishes have special penance services for Advent. Confession is an important
part of preparing room for the coming of Christ into
our hearts, that is, allowing Him to draw us into
deeper conversion.
6. Small Sacrifices for the Christ Child: Because
Advent is known as the “little Lent,” prayer, alms,
and sacrifices are also a also part of Advent season.
Just as the Magi labored through a long journey to
worship and gave precious gifts to the Christ Child,
so we can do the same; we can give the Baby Jesus
our sacrifices during the Advent season.
Adults can do this alone, but with kids a visual aid
goes along well with the practice.
7. Give: Good deeds and generosity have always
been an important part of preparation for Christmas.
Advent is a great time to practice spiritual and corporeal acts of mercy such as Christmas gifts for disadvantaged children, volunteering at a nursing home or
soup kitchen, visiting the sick in a hospital, or simply
inviting people into your home who may have no
friends or family of their own to celebrate the holidays with. If you can’t find something to be a part of
in your parish or local community, be an organizer
for a cause you’re passionate about and get others
involved.
Hopefully these ideas have given you inspiration to celebrate
Advent in a new and deeper way this year ...Have a mean-
ingful Advent!!!
