As we start the new church year, we begin with the season of Advent a season of Hope. We light the first candle on our Advent wreath and are encouraged in our Gospel to 'stay awake' and 'stay alert'.
Bishop Paul reminds us to stay awake not only for ourselves so we can be with the Lord, but for others. He shares a story of parents watching and staying awake by the bedside of a sick child so that they were staying awake for another. A reminder of staying awake in our faith.
Next week for those unable to get to church there will be an opportunity to watch the video for Mass at 10.30 on Zoom with others, and then stay on to 'have coffee' and a parish catch up. If you are interested in joining then please send email amhcathedral@googlemail.com
