We can still…… · If you don’t feel able to come to Mass in person you can follow Mass online through the Archdiocese here · Pray the Rosary in your homes
As these difficult and challenging times continue, we still walk in His Light together, nourished by His mighty Word and His Presence that whispers to our souls "remain in my love"....."do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid"....."Trust me" |

FOOD & DRINK FOR THE JOURNEY Today we celebrate the first Sunday of Advent – the beginning of a new liturgical year. The challenge of Advent is how do we spend our lives while waiting for the days that are coming? The Gospel today is quite clear...Stay Awake! Advent is an invitation to spiritual renewal……a time to renew our relationship with God. When we are called to meet the Lord, we don’t want to be unfamiliar to Him - or He to us. Much better if we can walk with the presence of a long-time friend. Advent calls us to reflect on that friendship and to nurture it! During the next few weeks you will hear many people say “I’ll be glad when Christmas is over”! The relentless pressure to spend, spend, spend can feel overwhelming. Lots of people feel the pressure of trying to get everything ready for Christmas. Yes, there are lots of things to be done but we will only have peace and happiness if Christ is at the centre of our busy lives. This Advent be expectant that the Lord will renew, refresh and invigorate your relationship with Him. Bring your hopes, joys, worries and sadness as you come to the miracle of the Mass - and the light of Christ will help you to stay awake and alert to His presence in our lives. One of the best ways of making sure we stay ready is by keeping our eyes open - our spiritual eyes, and more importantly, our hearts, so that we can walk in the light of the Lord! May we be ready to meet Him face to face –whenever and however that will be! Praise Him |
