Advent,2013

Today is the beginning of Advent,2013.The season of Advent is a beautiful  time to reflect on the blessings we have received through the presence of Jesus in our life and to offer love and compassion to  all those who meet us in daily life  in this pilgrimage of life. We often speak of fasts and abstinence during this season of  hope and waiting. Following in the footsteps of Pope Francis, living by the thoughts he gives us daily and especially through the words of  the new Apostolic Letter, the Joy of the Gospel,  we have to use this period of Advent that is just breaking open before us , to reflect the pure graciousness of the Lord who offered peace and happiness to all at his birth.
