![]() The Collect (the prayer said after the Gloria at Mass, before the first reading) from the Third Sunday of Advent describes us, the faithful, as awaiting the Lord’s Nativity. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, To attain the joys of so great a salvation, But there is also lots of waiting in the midst of all the activity.įaithfully await the feast of the Lord’s Nativity, Don’t get me wrong - I know days are packed with extracurriculars, homework, and Netflix. ![]() Waiting for mom to pick you up from said job or team’s practice. Waiting to find out if you made the team. Waiting to find out if you got the after school job. There is no shortage of waiting in life, especially in high school. No more doors to open and 24 days of waiting. “When all the doors are opened,” my Mom explained to me, “Christmas will be here!”Īt which point I apparently opened all the doors at once, only to be quite irked that my mom hadn’t clarified that it wasn’t 24 doors but 24 days that needed to be passed for Christmas to arrive. They’re supposed to be a fun way for kids to countdown the days until Christmas. My mom tells me that when I was a preschooler, I was given one of those fun Advent calendars that has 24 little doors with chocolate or a picture behind each one. ![]()
