Time to Refocus

Publisher's Note

The Register’s annual Advent supplement on page B1 hopefully provides a welcome respite from what is a very busy time of year. You’ll find in this clip-out section some essential tips on “Why (and How) of Daily Prayer” and “A Guide to Living the Catholic Basics.”

Please share this supplement with your family members and friends who don’t receive the Register. It offers lots of practical, timely ways to help us refocus on the meaning of Advent — preparing our hearts for the Savior.

During this time of year, the stresses of life can affect us with a greater intensity. I pray that we can clear out the spiritual clutter and prepare for the coming of the Christ Child, for it is then that we can truly radiate that joy to the world.

I wish you all a very holy and merry Christmas.

God bless you!

Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Next week, the Bishops of the United States will meet in Orlando and consecrate America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This week on Register Radio we are joined by Bishop Kevin Rhoades to explain the importance of the consecration and how we can all take part and then Register senior writer Zelda Caldwell tells us about the remarkable phenomenon of diocesan priests living in community.
