Advent: "Come, Lord Jesus!"

Advent is a time of "waiting". It is also a time of "preparation". Advent is a four-week long spiritual preparation before Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ. The first week of Advent has the theme "Peace". CDSA lighted the first Advent candle today (by Mrs. Ladyluck A. Reyes), after Fr. Mandy's blessing of the Advent wreath.

Happy Birthday Ma'am Lennie!
