Third Sunday of Advent: http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/121717.cfm

At an Advent retreat, Maria, mother of twelve living children, testified to the light.

Maria’s presence radiates an inner peace while juggling two toddlers on her lap and addressing several children vying for her attention.

First Sunday in Advent

And then, we are consumed with distraction, fall asleep, wander through the days, and occupied in the minutia. And, all of a sudden the red button pops on the turkey, the two-year-old's forehead cools, the day breaks with beauty, our children leave home, the dream passes, another Advent has come and gone—and we have missed the moment.
