Precious Lord, as I embrace this Advent Season, please open my eyes to see the great

value and blessing of Your Incarnation. Help me to discover Your hidden presence in

this world and within my own soul. I desire to see, understand and experience the

profound effects that Your Incarnation has on my life and I desire to receive those

effects more fully this Advent. May I become a sanctuary in which You dwell so that I,

like Your dear Mother, may bring Your presence into the world.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:.

-This Sunday, December 3rd is our NDS School Mass @ St. Joseph at 8 a.m. NDS students

who attend will be given a free dress pass. Uniforms are not required for the dress pass as we
