My favorite First Friday of the year

I love First Fridays.  As a Catholic they are packed full of devotion, grace, beauty.  We Adore Jesus all day, revealed to us in a splendid monstrance.  We worship, we pray.  We remember the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  We ask for His Mercy upon us.  We go to confession and ask forgiveness, pardon and peace.  Then comes Benediction, that incredible moment when we are blessed by the Eucharistic Jesus.
Then add Advent, our time for quiet prayer and reflection.  A season of vigil, patiently anticipating Him who is to come.  What an incredibly beautiful, peace filled day.  May you be richly blessed on this beautiful Advent First Friday.
