During Advent, we not only prepare our-
selves to celebrate the birth of Jesus, but we
also check in to see if we are doing all the things
that will keep us ready to receive Jesus when he
comes again. As a family, recommit yourselves
to praying daily, reading Scripture, and staying
faithful to God’s commandments. Pray together
that through this Advent season your family will
be more prepared to receive Jesus when he
comes again.
God of Love,
Your son, Jesus, is your greatest gift to us.
He is a sign of your love.
Help us walk in that love during the weeks of
Advent. Amen.
Please send prayer intentions to [email protected]
During this Season of Advent
St. Elizabeth was born in Hungary in 1207, the daughter of Alexander II, King of Hungary. She lead an austerely simple life, practiced penance, and devoted herself to works of charity. In 1228, she became a tertiary of St. Francis. She built the Franciscan hospital at Marburg and devoted herself to the care of the sick until her death at the age of 24 in 1231.
St. Elizabeth is the patron saint of bakers, countesses, death of children, falsely accused, the homeless, nursing services, tertiaries, widows, and young brides. Her symbols are alms, flowers, bread, the poor, and a pitcher.
