As the Advent season begins, we wait with joyful anticipation of Jesus\u2019 birth. We commemorate Jesus\u2019 first coming in time, his renewed coming into our hearts and wait for his second coming at the end of time.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who is better to help us enter into this season, but Mary, the Mother of God? In the Litany of Loretto, one of Mary\u2019s names is\u00a0Cause of our Joy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

With this four-part series of reflections<\/strong> presented by Catherine Macora, a Consecrated Woman of Regnum Christi, on Mary\u2019s Advent Joy, we\u2019re invited to hold hands with our heavenly mother and draw closer to her spirit and her virtues, especially Mary\u2019s joy in all circumstances. These reflections focus on the Blessed Mother\u2019s capacity to wait, hope, pray and receive Jesus with joy. May Mary, Cause of our Joy, prepare our hearts for the true joy of Christmas.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We invite you to join us this Advent as we walk with Mary\u00a0<\/strong>and explore her joy in all circumstances.<\/strong><\/p>\n
