Maternity B.V.M. Church - John Patrick Publishing Company

Fourth Sunday
of Advent
God Himself will
give a sign:
a virgin shall
conceive and
bear a son.
Today’s readings remind us that God has been
faithful to the covenant promises He made to
His Chosen People, Israel. Christ is the long
awaited Emmanuel — God with us!
