In this video, Fr. Mike Schmitz explains what it means for Christmas to be a season of hope, and reminds us that strengthening our relationship with Jesus while learning to trust Him is the one thing that matters this season.
- The Fatherhood of St Joseph - Though he was mostly mentioned in the infancy of Jesus, and later only in passing, St Joseph, the human father of our Lord has enormous responsibilities of patronage in the Catholic Church. This article explores who St Joseph was, and his role in the life and death of Jesus Christ.
- The Jesse Tree - The Jesse tree helps us connect the custom of decorating Christmas trees to the events leading to Jesus’ birth. Jesse was the father of King David, and we adorn a Jesse tree with ornaments that represent the people, prophecies, and events leading up to the birth of Jesus. The ornaments of the Jesse tree tell the story of God in the Old Testament, connecting the Advent season with the faithfulness of God across four thousand years of history. Take a look at this guide that goes through each day of Advent with a decoration for the Jesse Tree.
