O come, O come, Emmanuel. Amen.
We’re all waiting for something – test results, the semester to be over, the chance to open Christmas presents, an upcoming trip. Advent is a season all about waiting. In fact, that’s what the name of the season means. Advent comes from a Latin word that means “arrival” or “coming.” It was the word for the ceremonial arrival of the emperor in a city. Advent is a season in which the Church prepares us for the coming of Christ.
