The Wednesday Word- Advent
Dear Parents and Carers,
The season of Advent begins this Sunday.
Advent is the time to start making preparations to
celebrate Christ’s birth - God’s momentous arrival
into our world in the person of Jesus.
Advent is also the season of hope: a time to think
deeply about Jesus’ return at the end of time,
which we read about in this Sunday’s Gospel.
So let’s use this season of Advent to be open to
welcome the Lord, to make a fresh start and to
draw closer to God. The message is clear for all
of us: we are to stand ready!
Enjoy exploring this Sunday’s Gospel and this
Wednesday’s word, which is ADVENT.
