During Lent, we await Christ’s return from 40 days in the desert, His loving sacrifice for us, and Resurrection. In Advent, we prepare for His birth. The birth and resurrection of Christ are intertwined, and their connection is quite significant theologically. Yet, these seasons of waiting look different for us – <strong>Advent is a uniquely joyous and hopeful season in the Church.</strong></p> <p>We light candles amidst the darkness. We find warmth in the cold, dark winter season. And we come together as friends and family to celebrate the coming of our Savior.</p> <p>Advent is also the beginning of a new liturgical year. (This Advent season marks the start of Year C.)</p> <p>We begin the year anew, renewed by His birth.</p> [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure="1_3,1_3,1_3" _builder_version="4.18.0" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.18.0" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_image src="https://hallow.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Advent-Prayers.jpg" alt="Advent Prayers 2022" title_text="Advent-Prayers" url="https://hallow.com/blog/advent-prayers-catholic-meditations/" _builder_version="4.18.0" _module_preset="default" custom_margin="||23px|||" border_radii="on|20px|20px|20px|20px" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.18.0" _module_preset="default" text_font="PT Sans||||||||" link_option_url="https://hallow.com/blog/advent-prayers-catholic-meditations/" global_colors_info="{}"]<h4 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Advent Prayers</strong></h4> <p style="text-align: center;">Catholic Advent Prayers for the 2024 Advent Season</p> [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.18.0" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_image src="https://hallow.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Advent-Schedule.jpg" alt="Advent Schedule 2022" title_text="Advent-Schedule" url="https://hallow.com/blog/the-schedule-of-advent-when-does-advent-start/" _builder_version="4.18.0" _module_preset="default" custom_margin="||23px|||" border_radii="on|20px|20px|20px|20px" global_colors_info="{}"][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.18.0" _module_preset="default" text_font="PT Sans||||||||" link_option_url="https://hallow.com/blog/the-schedule-of-advent-when-does-advent-start/" global_colors_info="{}"]<h4 style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Schedule of Advent</strong></h4> <p style="text-align: center;">When Does Advent Start in 2024?

(Isaiah 7:14)</span></i></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the Gospels, we see the fulfillment of this prophecy.</span></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly. But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet:</span></i></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, </span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">and they shall name him Emmanuel,”</span></i></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">which means, “God is with us.” When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife, but had no marital relations with her until she had borne a son; and he named him Jesus. (Matthew 1:18-25)</span></i></p> <p><b>Hallow’s #Pray25 Advent community challenge guides you through this prophecy and its fulfillment.

Cycle A focuses on the Gospel of Luke, which we will hear during each Mass this Advent season. </span></p> <p><strong>SEE MORE: <a href="https://hallow.com/blog/the-schedule-of-advent-when-does-advent-start/">The Schedule of Advent</a></strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like Lent, Advent is a season of preparation, repentance, and regality. The color purple liturgically represents these spiritual themes for both seasons. While they share the same liturgical color and many thematic similarities, our prayers and intentions vary in Lent and Advent. In Lent, we focus our meditation on the suffering of Christ’s 40 days in the desert leading up to His crucifixion and sacrifice of Love for us. In Advent, purple adorns churches as we await the coming of the true King.</span><strong></strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The themes and lessons of Advent and Lent are most definitely related, illustrated by their sharing of the color purple, yet our prayer varies during these two seasons.
