From the Religious 

Co-Ordinator 

During this Advent season, take some time to prepare and remember the 

meaning of Christmas. 

The word ‘Advent’ comes from the Latin word 'adventus', meaning ‘coming’ or ‘arrival’, and indicating a season of waiting. Advent points not to one but three comings of Christ. 

One coming is in the past, when Christ came two thousand years ago as a helpless Babe. 

One coming is in the future, when Christ will return in glory. 

One coming is in the present when Christ is here amongst us in word and sacrament, in ministry and community, in creation and redemption. 

On the fourth Sunday of Advent, let us pray and reflect upon the Gospel using the 

Sydney Catholic Archdiocese Advent Companion.
