Petualangan Adven bersama Para Kudus

Masa Adven merupakan masa yang menyenangkan. Sementara Hari Natal semakin dekat, kita mulai menghitung-hitung minggu dan hari datangnya Natal dengan menggunakan Lingkaran dan Kalender Adven. Karena Natal adalah sungguh perayaan akan Kelahiran-Nya, kita merenungkan bagaimana orang menyambut Yesus 2000 tahun yang lalu. Dan kita ingat bahwa sekarang kita sedang mempersiapkan kedatangan Yesus kembali. Mari menjadikan Masa Adven ini sebagai suatu petualangan bersama para kudus! Setiap minggu selama Masa Adven, kita akan bertemu dengan seorang kudus yang akan menunjukkan kepada kita sesuatu tentang bagaimana mempersiapkan diri menyambut kedatangan Kristus.

A Letter from Jesus

As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every year
there is a celebration in my honor and I think that this year the
celebration will be repeated.

During this time there are many people shopping for gifts, there are
many radio announcements, TV commercials, and in every part of the
world everyone is talking that my birthday is getting closer and
closer. It is really very nice to know, that at least once a year,
some people think of me. As you know, the celebration of my birthday
began many years ago. At first people seemed to understand and be
thankful of all that I did for them, but in these times, no one seems
to know the reason for the celebration. Family and friends get
together and have a lot of fun, but they don't know the meaning of
the celebration. I remember that last year there was a great feast in
my honor. The dinner table was full of delicious foods, pastries,
fruits, assorted nuts and chocolates. The decorations were exquisite
and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts.
