Sometimes we get so busy with all the other Christmas preparations that we tend to forget the reason for the season. That's why, in this Year of Faith, we propose a project for the entire family: The Cube of Love Advent Calendar.

"May the journey we shall be making this year enable us all to grow in faith, in love of Christ, so that in our daily decisions and actions we may learn to live the good and beautiful life of the Gospel."

(Pope Benedict XVI, General Audience, Saint Peter's Square, 17 October 2012 – Introduction: The Year of Faith)
