It is right for the laity to pray for their priests and offer assistance where needed. Listen to Fr. Rob and Fr. George share more about mental health in their Vocation! Previous Episode Listen to the previous episode where. Fr. Rob, Fr. George, discussed some traditions one can incorporate this Advent to help prepare our hearts and homes for the coming of the Christ child at Christmas. Fr. Rob says we first need an Advent Wreath and we must secondly light it. Advent symbolizes the darkness of the world before Jesus' coming. In the northern hemisphere, this time of year is also the darkest. By lighting our Advent wreath, we are expressing our hope for the coming of Christ who dispels all darkness. As Christmas approaches we light more candles. Next, Fr. Rob and Fr. George emphasize a Marian devotion because Mary embodies perfectly the anticipation of Christ and a complete giving of herself. They suggest honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe on her feast day, December 12th with a bouquet of flowers. Links Order your copy of Why Christians Can Wear Pants here, Fr.
