As we celebrate the Fourth Sunday of Advent, a simple reflection:

“The liturgy of Advent…helps us to understand the fullness

of the value and meaning of the mystery of Christmas.

It is not just about commemorating the historical event,

which occurred some 2,000 years ago in a little village of Judea.

Instead, we must understand that our whole life should be an ‘advent’,

in vigilant expectation of the Christ’s final coming.”

– Pope St. John Paul II
