Your Advent Opportunity

Advent Gives You A Blessed Opportunity

This Advent, as at the beginning of all Advents, the Church encourages us to lift our heads, trust in Jesus’ saving love and make room for him in our hearts, to discover hope amidst life's’ anxieties.  As we begin the season of Advent we need to take time to spiritually prepare for Christmas and the coming of Our Lord.  In every direction we turn we will be reminded and encouraged to “prepare” for Jesus’ coming into the world and to remember the real meaning of Christmas.

Prayer is the secret of preparation.  One of the best ways to pray is to spend time in Eucharistic Adoration in our chapel.  A popular definition of ‘prayer’ is ‘relationship with God’.  What a beautiful thing it would be if at the end of the next four weeks you could honestly say your relationship with God had improved.  Find time in each of the next four weeks to go to the chapel and simply sit in the presence of God.  You don’t even have to have an agenda - a simple prayer such as ‘Jesus, please help me improve my relationship with you’ - then just sit back and while contemplating the Holy Eucharist let God do the work: Nothing else to do, except to say “Thank You God” before you leave.

“I am with you always …” and in his great and wonderful plan of salvation remember that he has been awaiting for you in his real presence for twenty centuries.
