Advent is Here!

It’s the season of purple altar cloths, wreaths, candles and a whole lot of waiting.  It’s Advent after all and that means re-learning how to wait.  Not only waiting for Christmas but waiting for the 2nd coming of Christ.  It’s a profound journey of faith.  Let’s be honest- few of us enjoy waiting.  

My local Stop and Shop installed the self-checkout isles years ago but introduced last year individual scanners so you can scan your barcodes while you shop.  This is to counter one process that they know we dislike- waiting.

I wrote this piece earlier today and like it a lot: Advent, Waiting and the Internet.  Let me know how you and your family celebrate Advent and we’ll be sharing these later in the month.  (mstpierre@morriscatholic.org)
