Every journey we embark in faith leads us to something new and perhaps deeper than before into the relationship with our Lord and God. This year I came to the realisation that there is no real sense of Christmas or the joy that comes with it without the Advent journey. The sacrifice, the penitential aspects and the preparation was indeed trying at times. Every week a little more difficult than the last but I wouldn’t trade it for anything or anyone. For the joy that emerged was priceless and heightened through the fellowship with my brothers and sisters in Christ. It is only through this journey that I can say with my whole heart, I am waiting in joyful anticipation of Christmas. Amen
