SUNDAYS IN ADVENTby Msgr James Gnanapiragasam

first sunday in advent
The practice of erecting a Christmas Tree has become a tradition among many of our families to highlight the cheer that accompanies the coming of the baby Jesus. This practice is not only confined to the malls or homes but has infiltrated the very Piazza of the Vatican in Rome. Varying European countries have been contributing to putting up a Christmas tree in the centre of the Piazza of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. It signals joy and celebration to all the pilgrims who throng the eternal city during this festive season.
Advent differs from Lent both in perspective and practice. Lent brings to mind sackcloth and ashes. We are asked to discard sinful habits, make the sacrament of reconciliation and do penance and sacrifice. It is a retreat, a journey through the temptations of the wilderness to the promised land. But Advent seems to be different with its stress on joy and peace.
