‘The Gift of Christmas’ invites us to join with our communities this Advent and Christmas:

• to celebrate the great gift God offers to each one of us in the birth of Jesus
• to receive that gift – and all God gives to us – with gratitude and joy, and
• to respond to God’s generosity by serving others, especially those in need.

This Advent we listen again to the angel’s words: “Don’t be afraid”. In Scripture, these words are not a demand but a gift. They reassure us that, while God’s presence is awe-inspiring, in Jesus, God comes to us in self-sacrificing love.

In this season we join those whose waiting is transformed by hope. Through their stories, we see that waiting is not empty time – rather, it is holy ground where we encounter hope in God.
