- Reflection on the Beginning of Advent 2025
Advent is a time of anticipation and preparation for the birth of Jesus Christ and His second coming. It invites us to deepen our faith, strengthen our hope, and extend our love. As we light the Advent candles, let the growing light remind us of the joy and peace Christ brings. Amid the season’s busyness, let us try our best to find moments of quiet to pray and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. May this Advent season renew our spirits and remind us of the hope and joy in our faith.
Wishing you a wonderful Sunday!
