.- The message of Advent is applicable in today’s world, especially in light of the school shooting in Newtown, Conn., Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Philadelphia said in his Dec. 17 column.
\”In these final days of Advent, the Church urges us to lift up our hearts and prepare to rejoice,\” he said. \”There’s nothing remotely naïve in this call to joy; the Church knows the harshness of the world far too well for empty pieties.\”
