LITURGY MATTERS: It's beginning to look a lot like Advent!

December 03, 2024 Fiona Duque

This time last year I wrote an article that focussed on ‘The Holy Family: Refugees and Immigrants’. This year, we continue to see a broken world in desperate need of healing. This Advent I again encourage everyone to try to recognise Jesus in all the faces of those that you meet and see on media screens, including the stranger, the refugee, the immigrant. As Pope Francis affirmed in 2023 “every human being, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, of any people or religion, every human being is sacred, is precious in the eyes of God, and has the right to live in peace.” [CNA Nov 23].
