Bishop Tobin on Mary as the Patron Saint of Advent

"Advent is such a special season, a beautiful, grace-filled time in which the Church prepares for the Coming of the Lord - both at the end of time and in the present Christmas Season. And one of the primary biblical characters who emerges to guide us through the season is our Blessed Mother, the Virgin Mary. Her Advent influence is found at several key points."

In a recent commentary, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, of the Diocese of Providence (RI), reflected on several reasons why the Blessed Mother Mary may be considered the patron saint of Advent.
