Fourth Sunday of Advent

The gospel today presents the beautiful story of the Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth. This reading gives us much to ponder – Mary’s generosity to her older cousin, Elizabeth’s acknowledgement of Mary’s yes to God, and her admiration of Mary’s belief in God’s promises. In your prayer, ask for the grace to imitate the faith and virtues you see in Mary and Elizabeth, especially when you are with your family and friends during this Christmas season.

ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament at Saint Christine’s Church will take place every Thursday. Mass will be celebrated at 10:00 am, followed by Adoration at 10:30 am and ending with Benediction at 6:45 pm. Come and spend some heart-to-heart time with Jesus.
