We can rejoice in the spirit of these holy days by remembering the blessings that God continues to bestow upon us. Let us open the doors to those who are alienated or inactive in regard to their Faith. We should not be a hindrance to their return to active Christian discipleship within the Church. Let us open the doors to those who are in need of our assistance. Since God has blessed us, we have an opportunity to bless others.
Advent is a season of hope.
Our God would not abandon the crown of His creation when sin and death entered the world. The love of God became flesh so that we can share in the very life of God. His love liberates us from anything that seeks to limit His children. Let us pray for one another that this spirit of hope will enliven us during these final weeks of the Advent Season. On behalf of the Office of Campus Ministry and Community Service, I wish you a blessed Advent and Christmas season, as well as a safe and relaxing break.
