Download 2024 Advent Reflections
Advent is that special time each year as we prepare ourselves for the coming of Christ at Christmas.
This year the Ministry Development Committee of the Diocese of Ballarat has prepared some reflections on four themes for Advent – God’s Promise, Prophets, John the Baptist and Mary, together with some craft activities and music.
Our four authors have each written an introduction to the theme, to be read at the start of each week of Advent, followed by a prayer to use each day of that week. You may choose to do a craft activity each week as well. I suggest that everyone at least makes an Advent Wreath or finds a candle that can be lit as you read and pray your way through Advent.
May you experience Christ’s coming to you each day this Advent.
