Advent

A time of …watchful waiting, preparation, peace and justice. Get ready for the coming of the Lord

This Sunday marks the beginning of the second week of Advent. We light the second candle to represent John the Baptist, Jesus’ cousin who proclaimed Jesus as the Messiah and who baptised people and helped them open their hearts to welcome Jesus.  As John's message prepared the way for Jesus, we too are called to prepare ourselves for Jesus' coming.

This Sunday we light the second Advent candle – the PEACE candle. . God gives us the gift of peace when we turn to him in faith. At school the students have been focusing on opening their hearts to receive God’s PEACE and share it with others. This is the best present we can give Jesus - and it has the extra benefit of making our world a better place to live in. What have you been doing to prepare for Jesus’ birthday?

Take Time This Advent

Take time to THINK…it is the source of power

Take time to PLAY…it is the secret of perpetual youth

Take time to READ…it is the fountain of wisdom

Take time to PRAY…it is the greatest power on earth

Take time to LOVE…and be LOVED…it is the way to peace

Take time to be FRIENDLY…it is the road to happiness

Take time to LAUGH…it is the music of the soul

Take time to GIVE…it is too short a day to be selfish

Take time to WORK…it is the road to integrity and achievement

Take time for CHARITY…it is the key to heaven.
