We started the week on Sunday by having a fantastic Christmas Festival at Saint Albert Catholic Schools. Our students from preschool through high school demonstrated their musical talents. It was a beautiful event and generated a positive vibe all week long.
This evening, we welcomed another group into our building to bring the week to a close with another concert. The Southwest Iowa Homeschool Choir Christmas Concert was held in the Saint Albert auditorium. Although it has been another 60-hour work week, and I really did not want to go back out into the cold, damp, night air, I wanted to be present to welcome and greet our guests. I have been greatly impacted by experiencing the Benedictine tradition of hospitality. I felt it was absolutely necessary for me to extend that kind of hospitality personally this evening.

This Sunday we will celebrate the Third Sunday of Advent--Gaudete Sunday. We are called to "rejoice" as we recognize that we are more than half-way through our season of preparation on the way to the great Feast of the Nativity of the Lord. I want to encourage you to finish Advent well. This will equip you to be fully prepared and ready to celebrate Christmas in a holy and worthy manner.
