"Advent, this powerful liturgical season that we are beginning, invites us to pause in silence to understand a presence. It is an invitation to understand that the individual events of the day are hints that God is giving us signs of the attention he has for each one of us.”
-Pope Benedict XVI

Our Day 10

We read the story of the Annunciation out of the children's Bible at bedtime. The kids came up with different ways to say "yes" to God, each at their own level of understanding.

We let them stay up later because there's no school tomorrow in honor of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Alas, the kids have dental appointments in the morning, but then we'll head over to the Bishop's Mass at noon, eat out for lunch (it is a feast day after all!), and head over to the Children's Museum, since we have two free tickets that must be used up by the end of the year.
