At this point, the Advent focus shifts to the Christmas story and the Virgin Mary.
These days serve to prepare more directly for the Lord’s birth.
This is the best time to hold carols services and to begin to sing Christmas
carols in the Liturgy.
All over the world Catholics are getting spiritually excited about the coming
celebration of the Nativity…
Millions of Catholics will attend daily Mass over the next nine days…it is a
wonderful time of year for us.
