This Week's Gospel Message3 December 2018 (by tinablack) |
Yesterday was the first Sunday in Advent. During Advent, each class will have a reflection session in a morning and in the evening to reflect on this special time of waiting.
This week our gospel message is: Your redemption is near at hand.
The children thought about what Advent means, and they discussed how Jesus said that he would come again.
The children thought about times when they have to wait for something, and how they felt at this time.
We ended our assembly by sharing that we do not know when Jesus will come again, but in today’s gospel Jesus tells us to pray and to watch how we behave while we are waiting, so that we will be ready when he comes. We thought about how we could do this during Advent.
