Here at the seminary, we began Advent with the 40 Hours Devotion. Spending this time with our Lord in Adoration was the perfect way to enter into the new liturgical year, and to begin this season of preparation and expectation. As we approach Christmas in four weeks’ time, may we be ceaselessly preparing for the coming of our Savior.

“May we receive, O Lord, Thy mercy in the midst of Thy temple, that we may prepare with due honor for the approaching feast of our redemption.”
