The FIRST SUNDAY of ADVENT |
|
|
|
|
Today
is the First Sunday of Advent, a time for us to prepare to celebrate
the birth of Jesus on Christmas Day.
The first candle is lit on the Advent wreath. |

In
today's Gospel, Jesus tells people that sometimes, strange and frightening
things happen in the world. Everyone is invited to watch and pray.
We know that Jesus will keep us safe always; he wants us to be with
him. |

|
|
|
|
|
In
the second reading today, Saint Paul tells the followers of Jesus to
love each other more and more. This is the way to prepare for a full
life with Jesus. |

We
started to make our Christmas cribs by colouring the background of the
stables we are preparing. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| We
talked about the things we love most about Christmas, such as getting
together with family and friends, giving out presents, decorating the
house and tree, going to Midnight or Christmas Mass and all the many other
traditions which have been passed down to us through the years. We realise
that the most important part of Christmas is to remember that Jesus came
to be born on earth because God loves us and wants us to be like Jesus.

A
letter from Frankie! |
|
|
|
|
| Father
John received this letter this week. |

Dear Boys
and Girls,
What a marvellous surprise for you to remember me sharing the past year
on the web, and your gift was a real surprise. Thank you very much.
I must also thank you for your prayers when I was ill a week or so ago.
However, I am now quite well again and able to take my master to church
and do all the other things in getting about, as you do, because without
my training to use my eyes for that purpose, Paul would be very restricted
indeed.
So many thanks and may you all have a very happy Christmas.
Yours truly,
Frankie the dog. |
