Spiritual Reflection from
St. David Parish
I remember hearing a story of a little boy who was impressed by the stars. He had many questions for his father about them. “Are the stars there all the time?” and “why don’t we see them during the day?” His father answered, “You can only see them at night.

Adverbs of Advent by Fr. Kennedy
Adverbs are simply amazing words. They show us HOW things happen. They lead us WHERE we need to go. They tell us WHEN to pay attention. The season of Advent uses special adverbs such as: patiently, unexpectedly, quietly, excitedly, joyfully, and tenderly to help us navigate this sacred season. They also help us to wait for Christmas and all that it promises. The Adverbs of Advent lead us to excitedly see HOW, WHERE and WHEN God’s great promises of salvation really come true. Please join us for Fr. Kennedy’s joyful reflection Monday, December 19th at 7pm. The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed during the reflection. Benediction & Confession will follow.
