A Domestic Calling: Liturgical Time: Time after Pentecost

Advent

From the 1962 St. Joseph Daily Missal:

The Season of Advent begins on the 4th Sunday before Christmas. This time is set aside by the Church to bring before our eyes the Incarnation of our Lord, the coming of Jesus Christ through Grace, and the coming of our Lord on the Last Day to judge the living and the dead.

The proper Christian sentiments to be developed during this time are: penance and an ardent love, worthily preparing men for the Feast of the Savior's birth.
