Identity and Mission
This coming Sunday 28 November, marks the beginning of the liturgical season of Advent. This first Sunday of four, marks the beginning the Roman Catholic liturgical season that brings us closer to Christmas. The period of preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

When we think of Advent, many imagine the Advent wreath, which contains four candles, one for each of the Sundays. These are lit each week to correspond with the prayer or refection of that Sunday:
|
|
Week 1: Hope (or promise)
|
|
Week 2: Preparation (or waiting or prophecy)
|
Week 4: Love (or adoration)
|
This Advent season, spend some time considering how you might commemorate the birth of Jesus, one of the holiest times in our Christian faith. Make this Advent a time when you get your heart ready. Commit to prayer, spiritual exercises, reflection and attentiveness to others.
