Advent
This Sunday we will light the Second Advent Candle. The second candle represents Peace.
What Is the Candle of Peace?
One of the hallmarks of the Christmas story is when the angels appear to the shepherds and proclaim, “Peace on Earth,” in Luke 2:14.
Jesus brought about peace, in the most unexpected ways, when he arrived. The Jews, particularly the zealots, wanted a rebellion. They wanted their Saviour to overturn the oppressive rule of the Romans and bring about peace in a violent way. However, Jesus had something else in mind. Jesus brought with him love. Love of God, love of self and love of one another. There is a beautiful song called “When love was born.”
On Monday, Grades Four, Five and Six will lead the school in the Lighting of the Second Advent Candle.
Confirmation
Confirmation will be celebrated during Mass this coming Sunday. Please keep these children in your prayers.
Blake, Xavier, William, Charlotte, Vanessa and Rylan.
Kind Regards
