1.) “What Is Advent?” from #ShareJesus with Fr. Leo Patalinghug
Redeemed Online brings us Fr. Leo Patalinghug, a priest known for his amazing culinary skills, to start us off on right this seasons as he answers the questions “What is Advent?” and shares his advice for having an encounter with God during Advent. He asks the question, “What are the virtues that you want for God to give to you?”
2. “Admonish the Sinner” from BestAdventEver.com with Dan Burke
In this video and reflection Dan Burke offers wonderful spiritual insight on what it means to admonish the sinner.
