Advent

Advent is a very exciting time.  It's the beginning of the liturgical year in the church and it's the time we can prepare ourselves for the coming of Jesus.  At school we spend time talking about angels - who they are and what they do.

In the months surrounding the birth of baby Jesus, angels visited Mary, Joseph and shepherds.  These people had good reason to be anxious, unsettled and impatient, and in each instance the angels delivered calmness, reassurance and a glimpse of heaven.  Angels are messengers from God! 

Keep your eyes open for messengers from God.  They appear in very unexpected places.
