In this lesson your child was introduced to the liturgical season of
Advent as a time of waiting and preparing for Jesus. For
Catholics Advent has a dual purpose. It is a time to
prepare for Christmas, when we celebrate the first
coming of God's Son. It is also a time to turn our minds
to Christ's second coming at the end of time. It is,
therefore, a season of joy and expectation.
Faith Summary
- Advent is a time of waiting to celebrate Jesus' birth at Christmas.
- We prepare for Christmas by praying and helping others.
