“Advent is concerned with that very connection between memory and hope which is so necessary to man. Advent’s intention is to awaken the most profound and basic emotional memory within us, namely, the memory of the God who became a child. This is a healing memory; it brings hope. The purpose of the Church’s year is continually to rehearse her great history of memories, to awaken the heart’s memory so that it can discern the star of hope.…
It is the beautiful task of Advent to awaken in all of us memories of goodness and thus to open doors of hope.”
Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Seek That Which Is Above,1986
“The feast of Saint Andrew invites us to ponder his response to Christ’s call: “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. At once they left their nets…” (Mt. 4:19-20). With his brother Peter, Andrew immediately left his fishing nets to catch souls for the Kingdom.
Are we hesitating to respond to Christ this Advent because we are waiting for just the right moment, those perfect circumstances that will allow us to be just as quick as Andrew? Sadly, we may discover that while we were waiting for that illusive moment, we failed to be attentive to the here and now invitations of everyday life, missing opportunities to respond with the generosity of a true follower of Christ.”

Merry CHRISTmas Grammie and to all of my FRiends on FR.
All this holiday BS. This is CHRISTmas and all these stores and TV Talking holiday. Just today, I had to go to Home Chepot; my wife wanted to get a wreath for our door and on the wreaths was written “Holiday”. It made me sick so I got what I went there for and left but before I did, I passed some workers there along with lit up CHRISTmas trees and I asked the workers what those trees were in the middle of the store and they answered CHRISTmas tree and I said, “Thank You”. I had to the 800 # for Home Cheapot, earlier this morning and at the end of the call, I said, “Merry CHRISTmas”, and the Rep. didn’t say anything. They are all trained to PC and it is sickening. Folks, the “powers that be” are trying to destroy this country by ridding it of Christianity bit by bit. Just like they did with Washington’s birthday and Lincon’s birthday now its just presidents day. It is all BS.
Merry Christmas to you.
