Deanna Longoria

Following Advent through prayer is not as common as Lent, but no less important. Bishop Flores’, The Light of Advent was most helpful and inspiring in following the daily gospel in preparation for Christmas. There are daily readings, relevant quotes, artwork, poems, and thoughts from the Bishop for the four weeks of Advent. Included are important writings from Sister Fatima Santiago, Deacon Josh Ramirez, Lydia Pesina and Father Andres Gutierrrez. A provocative question is included each day with space for personal reflections which assists in evoking a more intimate involvement. It was a welcomed and inviting part of the day during the Holy season which brought one deeper into the true meaning of this special time in the Liturgical Calendar.
