 \nThe Magazine oj Catholic Fanily LivingNOV.196335C  \nWILL YOURBABY BENORMAL?  \n# Our AdventGifts\n\nOUR HoLY FATHER,Paul VI,in his first speechat the second session of Vatican Council II,openedhis heart to the \"innumerable men and womenwhose hearts are heavy with emptiness,sadness,and despair—who feel isolated in a troubled so-ciety that has no message for their spirit.\"Forthese and all people his words breathed a spiritof hope:\"To all without exception the Churchproclaims the good news of salvation and hope.”  \nWe know that the Church proclaims the good news most effectivelythrough the celebration of the divine mysteries in the Mass and Sacra-ments.In the first session of the Council,the Fathers have alreadydecided that there must be a renewal of vitality and meaning in divineworship.In this decision they were but repeating St.Pius X's saying:\"The irst and necessary source of the true Christian spirit is activeparticipation in the public and solemn prayer of the Church.”  \nWe feel that we can help our readers towards this renewal by pro-viding a feature on the seasons and feasts of the Church Year.Wewill show some practical ways in which the message of the formalceremonies in our churches can be \"brought home\"literally,that is,made practicable in the family circle at home.We want to help youbring \"from Altar to Home\"the spirit and inspiration to put newlife in your religious beliefs and practices.  \nIf this seasonal feature is to be practical,then it must be simpleenough to adopt in a normal household.And it must be available intime for you to make preparations and get the family ready to partici-pate actively and intelligently.That's why we shall anticipate theseasons and feasts,as we do in this issue with \"Our Advent Gifts.\"  \nAdvent is a season rich in meaning,joy,and hope.Your effort toprepare well for its celebration in your family circle can merit anabundance of these blessings from the \"Lord Who is to Come.\"Andyou can share your abundance with the empty,make glad the sad,andbring hope to the despairing with your very own message of the goodnews of salvation.  \n11010  \nPa  \n# 四HUSBAND-WIFE\n\n盟PARENT-CHILD
