1st Sunday of Advent Year A
Matthew 24: 37-44
Advent means "Coming". During this season the liturgies encourage us - as we look forward to the Christmas celebration - to reflect upon the mystery of God's coming among us. It is a season of expectation, reminding us that we live in time.

Stay awake, because the Son of Man is coming

First Week of Advent
Lord, in this holy season of prayer and song and laughter, we praise you for the great wonders you have sent us: for shining star and angel's song, for infant's cry in lowly manger. We praise you for the Word made flesh in a little Child. We behold his glory, and are bathed in its radiance.

Christmas Litany 
Ask a member of your class to read John 1:1-14 as a litany prayer, with the rest of the class members responding together: 
“AMEN! JESUS OUR TRUE LIGHT HAS COME INTO THE WORLD”, at the end of verses 2, 4, 8, 10, 13, 14.  
Conclude your devotion time by singing together “Joy to the World, the Lord is Come!” or one of your favourite Christmas carols.

Feast of St Nicholas 
O good St. Nicholas, you who are the joy of the children, put in my heart the spirit of childhood, which the gospel speaks, and teach me to seed happiness around me.  You, whose feast prepares us for Christmas, open my faith to the mystery of God made man.  Bring us all in reverence to the Holy Child of Bethlehem, when true joy and peace are found. Amen.
