The season of Advent arrives on Sunday December 3rd, and a new liturgical year of the Gospel of Mark begins. Members, especially those less mobile or homebound, may enjoy the brief (six-minute) reflections for each Sunday of Advent offered by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (cccb.ca/evangelization-catechesis-catholic-education/video-resources/journey-through-advent/).
An Advent prayer is enclosed to supplement preparations for the arrival of the long-awaited Messiah whose birth members celebrate.
