1st Sunday of Advent

Today's Advent theme is Faith. In our Advent booklet it is written,

" Most of us have become so conditioned to suffering that we believe it is normal, along with illness, deprivation and a sense of isolation. But Jesus had a different view of how the world worked. He wanted us to understand that we always have the power to expand our definition of what is acceptable.

Because we have faith in a loving, all sustaining God, we can start to entertain a different concept - even in the face of bleak circumstances and seemingly insurmountable odds."

Faith is the ASSURANCE of things hoped for. Our role is to know our Oneness with God and the availability to us of all that God is. Believe in all that is of God instead of what is in the world.
