Greetings
and welcome to our project called ADVENT AD 2021. The AD is the
abbreviation of the term Anno Domini, Medieval Latin that means "in
the year of the Lord", taken from the full original phrase "anno
Domini nostril Jesu Christi", which translates to "in the year of our
Lord Jesus Christ ". with this title we just want to publicly recognize
that everything that happens in the world is under the reign and sovereignty of
our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. Our goal is quite simple: we would
like to provide you with a moment of prayer and a moment of learning along the
season of Advent and Christmas.
Starting tomorrow, the eve of the First Sunday of Advent of 2021 (November 28), and until the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord (January 2, 2022), you will receive a PDF via text message with a phrase from the gospel of the day, a brief comment, an allusive work of art and some music. We hope you find it useful. Feel free to share it with whoever you want. Peace • JV & AE
