    • Are you ready?  Most of the world ignores the penitential season of Advent.  Many put up their decorations or their Christmas tree around Thanksgiving or even earlier.


    PRAYER IN ADVENT. O God, who by Thy gracious advent hast brought joy into this world, grant us, we beseech Thee, Thy grace to prepare ourselves by sincere penance for its celebration and for the Last Judgment. Amen.


    Wishing everyone a Blessed Advent!!

    • My family has been praying this prayer called THE CHRISTMAS NOVENA for a long time.

    It starts on St. Andrew's feast day (Nov 30th) and ends on Christmas Eve.  It is prayed 15 times a day.  It can be prayed all at one or five times three times a day like the Angelus.


    Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in the piercing cold. In that hour, vouchsafe, O my God! to hear my prayer and grant my desires,
    [here mention your request]
    through the merits of Our Savior Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed Mother. Amen.

    • Some other suggestions are an Advent wreath or Jesse tree.

    Also, thanks to Miseremini, I learned of the old custom of praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary every day from the First Sunday of Advent until Candlemas/February 2nd/Feast of the Presentation.


    Shout out to Viva Cristo Rey for the suggestion of reading a chapter of St Luke every day. (There are 24 chapters.)

    • We are hoping to print out advent calendars tomorrow for the boys to check off each day until Christmas.  The goal is to have them say a little prayer like "Come Lord Jesus" each time before they check it off for the day.

    Last year we made tags with all of the names of all of the ancestors of Our Lord mentioned in the Bible and put them on our fake Christmas tree starting on the 1st Sunday of Advent.  Then a few days before Christmas we replaced them with Christmas decorations and ornaments.

    I will look forward to Christmas because there shireweed and a large churchwarden last year I obtained for Christmas that I have not had the pleasure of partaking in, if the weather will indeed be disgustingly mild here as the doofuses in weather media are predicting!

    Waiting for bourbon and amaretto this Yuletide.

    Dont watch the Telly like a jolly good ole chap but ole Polish bear will continue to cut down on internet viewing.

    Also, thanks to (name redacted) I learned of the old custom of praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary every day from the First Sunday of Advent until Candlemas/February 2nd/Feast of the Presentation.
    I recall the discussion on the forum about which mysteries of the Holy Rosary are prayed each day (with the understanding that a COMPLETE Rosary consists of all three Mysteries, or fifteen decades).  I redacted the name of the poster in that discussion who insisted that the Joyful Mysteries are prayed daily from Advent through The Feast of the Presentation (IDK what's suppose to happen between the Presentation and Septuagesima), the Sorrowful Mysteries are prayed daily during Lent (I assume she means from Septuagesima through Holy Saturday, but IDK), and the Glorious Mysteries are prayed daily from Easter until Advent.  This schema of course means that a COMPLETE Rosary is never ever prayed.  I also can't find anything in the writings of St. Louis de Montfort which supports this schema.

    The traditional schedule of reciting the Holy Rosary that I was taught (I received my First Holy Communion in 1959 at age seven), and is reinforced in several sources that have the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur, I'll just mention the Blessed Be God prayerbook and missal published in 1925, is to Recite the Joyful Mysteries every Monday and Thursday, the Sorrowful Mysteries every Tuesday (for the Poor Souls) and Friday (the day of Our Lord's Passion), and the Glorious Mysteries every Wednesday and Saturday.  The Mystery to be recited on Sundays have a season pattern based on the Church's liturgical year.  The Joyful Mysteries are said on all Sundays from the first Sunday in Advent until Lent, the Sorrowful on the Sundays in Lent, the Glorious on the Sundays from Easter until Advent.
