✨ ADVENT ✨

During this holy time, we wait with anticipation knowing the joys of what is to come with the arrival of Christ.

Our task during the Advent season is to imitate Mary by pondering the Word of God and allowing it to resonate within our hearts and pour into our lives.

Advent is all about watching and waiting. The word ‘advent’ comes from the Latin adventus, which means ‘coming’ or ‘arrival’.

We’ve prepared a reflection resource for you during this period, you can access it here: https://www.mn.catholic.org.au/church-mission/catholic-life/liturgy/liturgical-year/
