'Lord our God, with
the birth of your Son, your glory breaks on the world. Through the
night hours of the darkened earth, we your people watch for the
coming of your promised Son. As we wait, give us a foretaste of the
joy that you will grant us when the fullness of his glory has
filled the earth, who lives and reigns with you for ever and ever.
Amen.' 'Christmas' comes from the old English 'Cristes
Maesse', the 'Mass of Christ', c1038.

Advent,
like Lent is a good time to sort out our closer following of Christ. Advent is a joyful time of preparation for the coming
of Christ. A figure helping us in this is John the Baptist, calling
all to repentance. One of the ways to prepare is a celebration of
the 'Life Giving' sacrament of Penance / Confession / Reconciliation
If it's some time since you've been and can't
remember the procedure, please don't worry: the priest is there to
welcome and help you. It's a uniquely beautiful thing to hear the
words of God's forgiveness through the priest and experience the
total, interior, peace of conscience that Jesus wants for us all.
