We lit the first purple candle on our Advent Wreath today, which is called the Prophecy Candle. It reminds us Jesus' coming was prophesied hundreds of years before he was born. The color purple represents royalty; Christ is the King of Kings.

Christ the King!
Almighty and merciful God,
you break the power of evil and make all things new
in your Son Jesus Christ, the King of the universe.
May all in heaven and earth
acclaim your glory and never cease to praise you.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

Coping with The Wait
Often times, Brian & I are asked, "How's the adoption going?" And right now, all we can answer is, "Good. Now we're just waiting." Which happens to be a very boring answer.
But that's ok.
For now, we are enjoying The Wait. We are enjoying our time together just as Husband and Wife. Knowing full well a chapter in our lives will close and a new one will open as a Family of Three. We are very excited and looking forward to our new titles as Dad & Mom, but we are also cherishing these last moments as just Husband and Wife.
I owe this peacefulness to the virtue of patience. We are appreciating all of our blessings and looking forward to many more.

A Good Read
This is a cute book for little ones involved in any way in the adoption process. Thanks for the recommendation, MJ!

Thank You!
Dear JS & AS,
Accepting the responsibility of being our Little One's Godparents means so much to us. You both are such wonderful examples of followers Christ and living the faith.
We know you will help him find the path God has marked out for him. We know you will support him with your strength and ideals to help him recognize his Christian vocation and to live it graciously. We know you will offer the best spiritual teachings and inspire ways to live the Catholic faith.
We are looking forward to sharing in many celebrations!
God Bless,
The Logues
