Welcome. This week marks the beginning of the Christian season of Advent – a period of preparation for the great feast of the birth of Jesus Christ at Christmas. It is a busy time with school year ending, work piling up, things to be finished in time, presents to be bought, and endless pressures to spend, spend and spend. Don’t get drawn into this too much. The birth of Jesus was simple; keep Christmas simple. Set aside some time to pray and reflect. Enjoy Christmas for the real reason that God so loved us that his Son Jesus became one of us at Bethlehem two thousand years ago. God’s peace be with you. I’m Barry Hickey, Catholic Archbishop of Perth. 6pm, Sunday 27 November 2005 - Advent

I
believe that God’s love burns deep inside all of us. For
those who choose not to invite God into their lives, the flames
may flicker – but they still exist. These messages may be
just “the spark that ignites the flames of faith
for someone”...
