FORMED Video of the Month for November – St. John Nepomucene
Advent is an odd season. It’s a season that’s not about itself, but a season about preparing for Christmas. But that reality gets lost in the shuffle and stress of getting all the right gifts, decorations, and dinner ingredients. Dr. Tim Grey uses storytelling and readings from the Old Testament to explain that we need live in the “pre-season” of Advent well, so we can be prepared to welcome and receive the greatest gift God the Father wants to give us for Christmas: His son, Jesus.
