Advent

The holy season (Advent) on which we have entered is intended on the part of the Church to make us meditate on the three great advents of the Savior upon earth:

• The first in the humility of the crib in order to save us
• The second in the splendor of His glory at the last day in order to judge us
• The third in the secret of our hearts by His grace in order to sanctify us

We will make the resolution:

• First, to enter upon a new life of recollection and prayer suitable to the season of Advent
• Secondly, to take particular care with regard to the perfection of every one of our ordinary actions, which will be the best manner of sanctifying this holy season

Our spiritual nosegay shall be the words of St. Paul: "Behold now is the acceptable time; behold now is the day of salvation." (@ Cor. 6:2)
