Special Character
Key Ideas that you would like to talk about with your child at home of what they understand about Advent:
On the Second Sunday, the Gospel reading recalls the preaching of John the Baptist, who came to "prepare the way of the Lord".
The second Sunday of Advent gives us the opportunity to prepare our hearts in faithful waiting, celebrate the birth of Jesus, and ready ourselves for his second coming.

1st Week of Advent - HOPE
On the first Sunday of Advent, the first purple candle (symbolising hope) on the advent wreath is lit. This candle is typically called the "Prophecy Candle" in remembrance of the prophets, primarily Isaiah, who foretold the birth of Christ.
People of hope prayer
Encourage us not to be greedy for material possessions, but for justice and
truth.
Enflame us with a love for others, which crosses boundaries of race, religion
and nationality.
Stir within us a desire to fight for the
integrity of creation and appreciate the immense beauty of the earth.
Be with us, Lord, at this time, that we may be a people of hope.
In this season of
Advent, inspire us to be people of hope.
Amen. Susy
