The First Sunday of Advent opens the new Church year. It’s a chance to begin again; a time to examine our hearts in the light of the Gospel, repent of our sins and look for the coming of our Savior.An excellent Article by Archbishop Chaput.

As I said again and again over the last year, our Catholic faith, if it’s genuine, must have consequences – first in our private lives, but also in our public witness. If we really believe in the coming of a Messiah, our lives will reflect that in the way we treat our families, our friends and business colleagues, the poor, the homeless and the suffering.
Real faith will drive us to live our lives in a spirit of humility, hope and courage, as Mary did. It will also guide us to press our elected leaders – of both political parties – for laws and social policies that respect the dignity of the human person, from conception to natural death.
