    Happy Advent Season to All! I have no distinctly different plans for Advent this year. I will fast on Fridays as usual with a no-meat meal late Friday night. I have started "A year with Jesus" daily email newsletter from HEARTLIGHT in December and the daily "Catechism in a Year" and daily "Gospels in a Year" start again on December 9th. If anyone is interested, flocknote.com/catechism or flocknote.com/gospel can get you signed up too. I already get the daily mass readings each evening and a daily devotional from Heartlight each morning. So with all of this it assures me that I am reading some scripture each day even if I don't make it to my Bible to read my bible plans for that day.

    Also am planning to do the Daniel Fast starting January 1. Have the book on my Christmas list and learned about it from this group. So thanks for that suggestion.
    Have a blessed day!

    Another resource I just learned of today is the Friday fast intentions of the US Bishops. If interested, the link is below. I will add it to my fasting to join it in prayer with others around the US

    Please visit www.usccb.org/fast to subscribe to receive the weekly reminder, intention, and reflection by email. Or text "FAST" to 99000 to receive text messages.

    I love that you have an Advent playlist -- What an awesome thing that I had never thought of. Thanks for suggesting this!

    I gotta tell you, I'm not the 'friending' type.. Many issues! Like, the song I left off my Advent playlist is by Patti Smith the pretty grandmother of punk rock. It's Lo and Beholden and it's about Salome asking for the head of John! I tend to be too much on an angle for most! but thank you....
