Dear Parents and Guardians,

 

The end of year is quickly coming to an end. Last Sunday we commenced the Advent season in the Church’s Liturgical Calendar. A time of hope and preparation for the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

This coming Sunday, 4th December, will mark the second week of Advent - the second purple candle is lit focusing on the peace that the birth of our Saviour brings into the world.

Prayer:

God of Light, we ask to be filled with your peace this Advent. As we prepare for your coming, we ask you to help us to be peacemakers, allowing us to see your face in others at home, and in our community. Amen.

 

ADVENT

Sunday 11th December marks the third Sunday of Advent. A rose coloured candle is lit symbolising Jesus as the light and love in our world.

Prayer:

Loving God, we thank you for the joy you bring us. Help us to prepare our hearts for the gift of your son. Help us to hear your word and live it in our lives.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

 

Sunday 18th December ends our Advent season. The fourth purple candle is lit, reminding us of the faith and love that Mary had when she was told that she had to bear a son  and name him Jesus.

Prayer:

Dear God,

Grant that we may follow Mary’s example, for her humility was pleasing to you and her obedience is valuable to us.

We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.
