Good Morning from the Lumen Crew to you! The above picture was taken as the sun was rising this morning(2/26/12). We realize we have said we would share pictures form the march around the Jacksonville Courthouse, but we have had some computer issues and lost our pictures. We are in the process of fixing our computer and retrieving our pictures. Please pray for that!
This morning we want to share with you Christ's Joy! We pray the Holy Spirit will fill you with His peace, joy, and love. May His love radiate from you to those around you, just like the picture above. You all are always in our prayers! Have a wonderful day and we will see you tomorrow for a full blog filled with all the pictures and an update on Skiff and AJ's Fantastic Voyage. Joyfully through Christ~ Lumen Crew.
Happy 1st Sunday of Advent! We hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends. The Lumen Crew truly enjoyed their time with their family and friends. What a great way to end the Thanksgiving Holiday by kicking off Advent and the new Mass Translation. Speaking of Advent, don't forget it's not too late to order He is Coming to help teach or enhance your child's Advent season. Also our friends at Holy Heroes. We both are incredibly thankful for your support!
During this Advent season, some of the Lumen Crew has decided to do an Advent fast to prepare for the birth of our Lord and Savior! You can start now and it ends on Christmas Eve. It's some what like Lent and you do not have to give up something either. Maybe add something to what you already do everyday. You could add an extra 10 min a day to your prayer time, dive into scripture, attend daily mass, pray the rosary more often, or visit Jesus in Adoration. A priest had said in his homily, "what better way to prepare for the birth of Jesus than to spend time in prayer and in the scriptures." Let all of us be encouraged to prepare for the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
We pray you all have a great week and you all are in our prayers. See you on Friday for some Cuban Coffee and hopefully are mailing will be done and sent out!
