We know Advent as a Season of preparation–a time to allow the Lord to lead us into the glorious mystery of His Incarnation. St. Francis of Assisi had a profound love for the Lord Jesus, and experienced in the glorious Solemnity of Christmas the profound humility of the Lord. Not only did God desire to save His people, but He humbled Himself to become one of us. The most perfect example of poverty comes from Jesus Himself, born in a lowly stable over 2000 years ago!
This Advent, we have been consistently surprised by the joy that the Lord has been giving to us through a series of miracles to help complete the work on Our Lady of the Angels Church! From benefactors coming through with incredibly generous donations to fantastic coverage in the secular media, this is clear: the Lord desires to use this Church for His purposes, and He will make sure the project is completed.
As we strive daily to follow Jesus in the footsteps of St. Francis, we delight in the consolations God sends our way to remind us that He is always with us, and His providence marks out every day for us! Thank you for your prayers, and count on our prayers for you–not only that you be blessed, but that you are able to receive daily all the grace Our Lord desires to give to you!
