The Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception present "Journey Through Advent" with Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC. In this new series, Fr. Anthony will help us to dive deeper into the holy penitential season of Advent, preparing ourselves for Our Lord's Birth on Christmas. Join Fr. Anthony as he answers some of the burning questions you may have regarding this season, helping you to make this Advent season more fruitful and spiritually rewarding!
Fr. Anthony Gramlich highlights Advent as a penitential season of preparation for Christ's threefold coming — His Incarnation, His Second Coming, and His entry into hearts through prayer and the Sacraments — emphasizing penance, hope, and devotion to Mary as key elements in preparing for Christmas with faith, joy, and peace.
Father Anthony reflects on the importance of staying humble, giving all praise to God, for our good works in the world.
In the United States, the Catholic Church observes October as Respect Life Month.
Father Anthony encourages us to open our hearts and minds to Jesus and offer our humility up to Him.
