This Sunday, December 1 marks the beginning of the season of Advent, the preparation for the feast of Christmas. For helpful liturgical background and information on this season, read “Thoughts for an Extraordinary Advent” written by Rev. William Rock, FSSP as well as his article from the Memento. In addition, an excellent resource for all liturgical meditation and study of the history and mystery of each season is the Liturgical Year by Servant of God, Dom Prosper Gueranger.
