The Season of Advent is a time of "devout and expectant delight," inviting us to prepare our hearts not only for the celebration of Christ’s birth but also for His promised return (CCC 524). This period of waiting is marked by the color purple because it carries a deep twofold meaning: it is the color of kings, symbolizing our anticipation of the "King of Kings," while simultaneously serving as a sign of penance that calls us to cleanse our hearts through prayer and conversion. Rather than a time of sadness, this "royal purple" signals a hopeful journey, reminding us to ready our lives with quiet joy and dignity for the Savior who draws near (CFC 1578).
