As another year unfolds,
may God grant you the strength and faith

to count your blessings, not your your crosses;

count your gains not your losses.

Count your joys not your woes;

Count your friends not your foes.

Count your smiles not your tears;

Count your courage not your fears.

Count your full years not your lean;

Count your kind deeds not your mean.

Count your health not your wealth;

And love your neighbour as much as yourself.

Prepare the Way of the Lord

Advent
is a period of devout
and joyful expectation.
The Son of Man calls us to holiness
and blamelessness in the sight of God.
Are we ready to meet him face to face?
All the comings of Jesus are Gospel, Good News.
God is greater than our sins, our faults and our despair
and is leading us to a greater love for the world and our own selves.

Come to our

ADVENT RECONCILIATION SERVICE

Wednesday, December 16 at 7:30 PM
This service of Sacramental Penance
will help us to make ready and straight the road to our God.

Priests will be available for individual confession.
