It is good that it is still Advent, a truly penitential season, as our Blessed Lord has stiff words for us today in the Gospel. We all want ourselves and our loved ones to enter at the end of days the gates of heaven, but Jesus warns us that it is not enough just to cry out to the Lord to let us in - we must do the Father's will and obey his commandments. That's the beauty of Advent, as the Church gives us plenty of time to get our spiritual house in order so we can allow the infant Jesus into our hearts come Christmas Eve. Let us all help each other, then, to really try to do God's will today as we strive to love our neighbor as ourselves. Have a blessed day!

Quote of the Day
"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." -Saint SebastianPoem of the Day
"Advent Prayer" by Sr. Maryanna, O.P.Like foolish folk of old I would not be,
Who had no room that night for Him and thee.
See, Mother Mary, here within my heart
I’ve made a little shrine for Him apart;
Swept it of sin, and cleansed it with all care;
Warmed it with love and scented it with prayer.
So, Mother, when the Christmas anthems start,
Please let me hold your baby–in my heart.
