Today, the First Sunday of Advent, we begin a new year of grace.
We begin the year with readings from old friends and prophets, with our old friend Mark, the earliest evangelist.
We've changed our vesture from the greens of ordinary time to the blue-violets of Advent.
I offer the above image for your reflection about the colors of Advent. Look into the skies to see a hint of our vesture, and to what this season is all about.
Some people have a hard time with our priests' vestments of midnight blue. Some people think that I should be wearing purple.
This year our "Advent Wreath" is located behind the altar, in relation to the Crucifix sculpture on the back wall of the sanctuary.
I really hope this Advent season may be a time of grace, in the face of changes and new ways of doing things, for all of us!
