The catholic liturgy is one of the most beautiful traditions of our faith. Tara bought me a catholic prayer book last year and it has been a blessing. Sunday, November 30th is the first Sunday of Advent and below is a link to an amazing site that will walk you through the mass each day of Advent. Praying the hours sets a rhythm for the day, it gives you direction, and centers you when the day is crumbling around you.
Henri J.M. Nouwen says of prayer:
The invitation to a life of prayer is the invitation to live in the midst of this world without being caught in the net of wounds and needs. The word 'prayer' stands for a radical interruption of the vicious chain of interlocking dependencies leading to violence and war and for an entering into a totally new dwelling place. It points to a new way of speaking, a new way of breathing, a new way of being together, a new way of knowing, yes, a whole new way of living.
-Prayer and Peacemaking
God willing, this Christmas season will be one of renewal and a new found faithfulness.
