Advent – A Time of Grace

In his weekly Montana Catholic Register “Reflections” column, Bishop Murphy urges all of the faithful to embrace the sacred and spiritual aspects of Christmas as the season of Advent begins. “Advent is a time to prepare to celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace,” says Bishop Murphy. “It should be a time when we prepare ourselves spiritually for this great event. Yet, as we prepare for Christmas, we should be challenged to make this a time of spiritual growth.”
