Advent

How can we use Advent to open ourselves and let Jesus become a

bigger part of our lives?

What is Advent?

Advent is a time of year to prepare for the coming of Jesus Christ,
the Son Of God. This celebration occurs  yearly, but can be celebrated

by two kinds of people, christians and non-christians. Advent is a time
to open our hearts and change our attitudes. The word Advent means “coming” in Latin. There are 4 candles, symbolizing Advent.

Each one represents one of the four Sundays in Advent.

Three of the candles are the colour violet, leaving the remaining

candle the colour rose.

Thinking about our attitudes, we can recognise what needs to be

changed so that we can have a strong relationship with God, we
could also be more loving and caring to each other. Appreciating

the season of Advent as a gift to be used to make a straight path

and to  follow Jesus’ footsteps, by learning more about Him.

Changing our attitudes can change our lives and we could be

a more better person. Changing our attitudes can also change the lives of others.
