This series of homily outlines breaks the Advent season into its four main themes: Joy, Hope, Peace, and Love. Each week focuses on a specific theme and offers insights as they relate to marriage and the family. Also included are scripture readings and a list of suggested preparation questions to take to prayer and meditation. Priests may choose to use the simple outline version or the more detailed version arranged with help from Communio partner Fr. William Burmester as they prepare for service. These outlines and reflections can help set the tone for the Advent season.
