Last Sunday we lit our first candle on the Advent wreath in remembrance of each generation from Abraham through David through the prophets, who waited and hoped. As we too now wait in hope, let us acknowledge and pray for those, who for one reason or another, will not be “with us” this Christmas. Perhaps you know a loved one who has emigrated, passed away, someone suffering mental health difficulties, a hospital patient, someone suffering addiction, or Alzheimer’s disease? If you would like to remember a loved one, please take a card from the basket, put the individual/s name on it and hang it on the Advent Tree. The cards hanging on the Advent Tree will be removed on Christmas Eve and will form part of the Offertory Procession at the Vigil Mass.
