On this 1st week of Advent, Fr. Dom and the youths gathered at NBVM for the lighting of the Christmas tree and caroling – eagerly awaiting the birth of Jesus. Fr. Dom explained that the crib was deliberately designed with its rough edges and imperfect balance to represent us with our imperfections awaiting the perfect presence of Jesus. He said that all of us have our faults but when we allow Jesus to come into our lives, his perfect presence will shine through our darkness.
On the first Sunday of Advent: We light the candle of hope – Jesus our true hope
