Advent

Today , I said the mass for the youth at the Mar Thoma Cathedral in Chicago. The choir consisting of the children sang well in English.
The snow and the sleet of yesterday disappeared and the temp. warmed up. After the mass, Mr.George Ambatt invited me for lunch and after lunch , I came back to the house.
Advent is a time of hope, dreams and expectancy. Our hearts should be longing for the presence of Jesus in our lives--a time to reawaken in our hearts love, forgivenss,and compassion.It is also a time to depeen our faith which consists in the total surrender of our selves to God's will.
