Series on “Prepare Your Heart” by Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR. (Part 1)
What does Nazareth look like for you, and how does it compare to how you encounter Advent? Jesus, Mary, and Joseph lived in Nazareth—a place of beauty, simplicity, and stillness. Meanwhile, Advent is a season of preparation for the coming of Jesus. It is usually one of the busiest times of the year for most of us. So, how can Advent be an experience of Nazareth during this busy time? For this first part of this year’s Advent series, we will discuss Nazareth and what we can learn from this place as we celebrate the Advent season.
