As we begin to return to a sense of normalcy in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, let us remember with compassion those who are struggling to rebuild. It is a privilege to resume any version of our daily lives, and may we be ever mindful of our call as Catholics to offer prayers, support, and acts of charity for our neighbors in need, trusting in God’s mercy and providence.

Confession before Christmas is encouraged in Catholicism to purify the soul and embrace the spiritual renewal symbolized by Jesus’ birth. It allows believers to reflect, seek forgiveness, and reconcile with God, fostering a deeper connection to the essence of Christmas. By acknowledging shortcomings and receiving absolution, one enters the season with a cleansed spirit, ready to embrace the significance of Christ’s arrival. It embodies the spirit of repentance and prepares the heart to fully appreciate the transformative message of hope, love, and redemption that Christmas represents, fostering a meaningful and spiritually fulfilling celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Join us for Compline on the Sundays of Advent, 3 December – 17 December, at 7p.
The official public night prayer of the Church’s Liturgy of the Hours, Compline is a time where we gather as Christians to examine our conscience, sing psalms with their proper antiphons, and listen to the Word of God. The highlight of the service is the Anthem to Our Lady, in which we process to the Lady Altar and the faithful are sprinkled with Holy Water.
