Each month, the St. Agnes school community focuses and reflects on a different virtue.
The virtue for December is "patience".  
As we begin the holy season of Advent, we reflect on  how we are called to patiently prepare to celebrate the coming of our Savior at Christmas. We reflect on Mary's patience as she accepted God's invitaion to participate in the mystery of the Incarnation. We recall the long history of God's chosen people, patiently awaiting the Messiah. It is an act of trust in God to patiently await the fulfillment of His promises to us.
The colors of the Advent candles, violet and rose, are the colors of the sky just before dawn breaks...just before the light comes into the world. Patience is truly a virtue. We pray for a blessed Advent season.
