Join us in this wonderful celebration of the Mass with music, reflections, meditations and prayers as we journey through Advent. Advent is such a beautiful season of hope and expectation. Could it be that our hearts yearn for a more hope-filled world, a place of peace, and a desire that in this Advent season we will hear the voice of God and experience the heart of God ever more deeply?
This evening will carry us back some 2000 years. It speaks to us of a humble, simple, young woman named Mary, who lived in Nazareth. She had questions, fears and uncertainties in her heart as she encountered God's desires and invitation for her to mother the long awaited Savior of the World. She chose to trust and hope in her God, agreeing to accept God's Spirit within herself, allowing her to bear the One who would bring Good News to the poor.
Along the path of our own lives there have been and always will be many crossroads, invitations and opportunities for change. Many of these moments may be filled with questions, fears, and uncertainties. Much like Mary, we too struggle with a multitude of choices and decisions along our way. But when we face these difficult crossroads we simply need to tap into the fortitude we have already developed through our own intimate and many times simple experiences of God throughout the course of our lives.
