Once again, Advent is here—a special time of preparation for a unique birth. While in real life this process takes several months, we will experience it in just four weeks. This year, we want to approach it in a different way, guided by the Words of Advent. Each day will be marked by a word drawn from the corresponding liturgical texts, words that will help us prepare our hearts and fill them with hope.
We invite you to let yourself be transformed this Advent, to allow the love we are waiting for to be born and grow within you. Let it prepare you to welcome the Christ Child with an open heart, ready to embrace His message as He deserves.
