Nov. 24, 2019 - In the beginning of the Mass today we hear the words of God "If you call upon me I will come to you and I will bring you out of your captivity." This week is the week we are given to prepare for our journey together with Christ through the Season of Advent. How shall we live that we may call upon the Lord and experience His deliverance out of His great love for us. Our Lord asks us during Advent to offer Him three things that are interwoven. We are asked to increase our fasting, our prayer, and our almsgiving. Today we examine these three spiritual disciplines and how God floods us with His grace as we offer them to Him.
