"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 6

Well, we didn't follow the calendar last night. It had been a long, busy week for my husband and I. We went to eat at a fish fry hosted by our local Catholic Social Services to benefit a shelter they are building for women who are threatened by domestic abuse and/or abortion, and that was the sum total of our altruism.

After dinner, it was late and we had an "event" at home that took up all our attention until well after the kids' bedtime. So, we'll try to fit in our project for the local nursing home today.
