About This Video:
For the Saturday of the first week of Advent, we reflect on the true meaning of giving. Father Yamil connects the life of St. Nicholas to the Gospel of Matthew, reminding us that Jesus calls us to have a heart of compassion for the troubled and abandoned. True preparation for Christmas isn't just about buying gifts—it's about liberating the lonely and sad through acts of love.
