Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
As Christians, one of our most celebrated events is the remembrance of Christ’s birth in Bethlehem and all the miraculous sights and sounds surrounding it. There are the Nativity scenes that even our most dedicated atheists have not been able to keep off church lawns and in the parlors of believers.
Advent is under way, but I am not sure what I am supposed to be doing. Everything is so joyful outside of the Church, with lights and singing and cookies and decorations. But inside the Church, there is a sense of hesitation, of deliberate waiting. I’m not sure what that is all about.
