Our preparation for Advent begins with the Advent wreath, candles, and prayerful reflection.
Rev. Peter John Cameron so beautifully shares, "As we enter into Advent, the worries and the wear-and-tear of life remind us just how much we need God. Advent is the assurance of the constant closeness of God, as St. Augustine reminds us:
Life itself was manifested in the flesh so that
what only the heart can see could be seen also
by the eyes, and thus the heart be healed."
