Term 4 Week 8 – 2nd December 2022
We just have to look around the school to see that Christmas celebrations have well and truly begun. The students are enjoying their Christmas accessories and the staff are looking wonderful in their Christmas attire. On Sunday we celebrate the second week of Advent. As we light the Advent Wreath Candle we focus on the gift of Peace. Jesus came to bring peace to the world. We remember the angels proclaiming to the shepherds, “Peace on earth.” As we prepare for Christmas, we think about the peace that Jesus gives us, within ourselves, in our relationships with others, and in our wider world. The Gospel reading recalls the preaching of John the Baptist, who came to “Prepare the way of the Lord.” In a similar way, we are reminded to take the time to prepare for the coming of Christ at Christmas.
