Advent is the start of the
Christian year. The word Advent
comes from the Latin 'adventus,'
which means 'coming' or
'arrival' to signify the birth of
Jesus. In the Catholic Church,
the Advent season reminds us
about the importance of Christ
in our lives, prepares us to
celebrate Christ's birth at
Christmas, and refers to his
second coming at a future time.

 PRAYERS CORNER
NICENE CREED
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of
heaven and earth, of all things visible and
invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light, true God from
true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with
the Father; through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation, he came down
from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate
of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucied under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried, and rose again
on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the
right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the
living and the dead and his kingdom will
have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver
of life, who proceeds from the Father and the
Son, who with the Father and the Son is
adored and gloried, who has spoken
through the prophets.
I believe in One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic
Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of
sins and I look forward to the resurrection of
the dead and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

ANIMA CHRISTI
Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from the side of Christ, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within thy wounds, hide me
Suffer me not to be separated from thee
From the malignant enemy defend me
In the hour of my death call me
and bid me come unto thee,
that with thy saints I may praise thee
forever and ever. Amen.
