Reflection

Starting this December the church begins a new liturgical year. We now focus upon the birth of Jesus. Over the next four weeks starts the preparation on the season of Advent that we are led by the Church to cultivate within us a sense of longing, hope and joyful expectation for the birth of the saviour of the world. During this sacred time we should be focused on a disciplined routine of prayer, bible reading and the faithful reception of the sacraments of the Church. By adopting these practices, we will be prepared for Emmanuel's return.
