Paragraph 3. THE MYSTERIES OF CHRIST’S LIFE

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

524
When the Church celebrates the liturgy of Advent each year, she makes present
this ancient expectancy of the Messiah, for by sharing in the long preparation
for the Saviour’s first coming, the faithful renew their ardent desire for his
second coming.²⁰⁰ By celebrating the precursor’s birth and martyrdom,
the Church unites herself to his desire: “He must increase, but I must
decrease.”²⁰¹
