Behind closed doors, glowing amber fires shed light upon what is real. What is lasting. Like a mother who has found her authenticity, advents beauty radiates from within the home. "Bringing Advent Home" was born from a program given by Father Fidelis Albright OFM, back in 1972, when Rosie Gil was a young, newly married woman. Shortly after Father Fidelis's passing, Robert her husband, and Rosie began practicing these advent customs in their home. Rosie began making notes of all the many customs and traditions that Father Fidelis had taught them. Through the years that followed Rosie typed these little cherished customs into book form, so that they could be better cherished, preserved and shared in her home as well as with other families. From then on, not an advent went by without these traditions being the center of her Advent home. "We shape our dwelling, and afterward our dwellings shape us!" Rosie died on the Feast of the Holy Family, 2010.
