The season of prayer and witness

Advent is a wonderful time of year.  It’s that special season when families huddle together around the TV (or alone, on their various devices) to watch hundreds of greed-inspiring ads and listen to Xmas carols with rewritten lyrics that sell lottery tickets, and cars, and smartphones.That’s Option A.  Option B is this: We can make Advent something much deeper and much better.  We can live it as the season was meant to be lived.
