In preparing the bulletin this week I noticed that Christmas is almost upon us, its funny how it kind of sneaks up on you!

This Sunday is Gaudete Sunday, gaudete is a Latin word meaning "rejoice". We are invited to pause and reflect that the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Saviour is almost here and rejoice that this is so. Jesus, who comes to us in the humility of the stable but who will return in glory when the fullness of his kingship will be revealed. A kingship we are all invited to share, the royal road to which is love of God, each other, and our neighbour

As always, God bless and keep you all; I assure you that keep your intentions in my prayers every day.
