DID YOU KNOW?:

The word 'Advent' comes from the Latin word adventus, which means 'coming' or 'visit'. Advent colours are purple and rose. At Mass the priest's vestments, altar cloths, and Advent candles are purple, except for the third Sunday of the season, Gaudete Sunday, when the colour is rose, for joy.There is also a white candle for Christmas Day itself, usually in the middle of the Advent wreath.

My song shall be always of the loving-kindness of the Lord: with my mouth will I proclaim your faithfulness throughout all generations.

Why is Parliament like ancient Bethlehem?

It takes a miracle to find three wise men there
