As we prepare for the coming of Christ, it's a great time to reflect on the beauty of the season. Here are 10 videos that might help.

We hope you find a new favourite!

 
1. Pope Benedict XVI on Advent
Food for thought that’s short, simple, and sweet.

If you have a little more time, check out this whimsical S+L production featuring children from the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program.

Two words: hammered dulcimer. This ethereal piece is a treat for the ears.
 
4. In The Beginning: The Word
