Advent
As we begin Advent, this week, we remind ourselves Advent is the season four weeks before Christmas in which we prepare for the coming of Christ. The word Advent comes from the Latin word adventus, which means “coming”. As we enter the Advent season at the beginning of the liturgical year, let us take a few moments take a few moments to reflect on Patrick Kavanagh’s poem ‘Advent’
