"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 8

Well, we weren't able to get to the Advent event at the seminary, because our oldest was feverish in the morning and headache-y all day. He perked up after dinner, thankfully. We lit our two candles but saved singing "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" for bedtime...because if I didn't have a "no singing at the table" rule, I'd have at least two kids belting out tunes at every meal.

We also prepped for Monday's feast of Saint Nicholas, but that's another post.
