Our Lady and the spirit of Advent

"The Virgin Mary perfectly incarnates the spirit of Advent; this spirit is one of listening to God, of profound desire to do his will, of joyous service to our neighbor. Letting ourselves be guided by her, so that the God who comes does not find us closed and distracted, but can, in each one of us, extend a part of his kingdom of love, of justice and of peace."  ~Pope Benedict XVI, 12/2/12 Angelus Message

Dear Mary, Virgin of Advent, teach me to listen with you to God, the Incarnate Word and your Beloved Son, and to do whatever He tells me.  Amen.
