A Message from Father Ben Nwosu

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Advent Reflection Advent is a season of waiting and hope, a time when we prepare our hearts to welcome Christ anew. As candles are lit each week, we are reminded of God’s promises—of peace, joy, love, and the light that overcomes darkness. In the midst of busy days, Advent invites us to pause, to pray, and to look with expectation toward the coming of our Savior. May this season draw us closer to God and to one another, as we journey together in faith and
anticipation. 

The First Candle – Hope
The first candle of Advent is the Candle of Hope. It reminds us of the prophets who foretold the coming of Christ and of the faithful expectation that God’s promises will be fulfilled. As we light this candle, we remember that our hope is found in Jesus, the Light of the World, who brings peace in the midst of darkness and assurance in times of waiting

The Second Candle - Peace

The second candle is the Candle of Peace. It calls us to prepare our hearts for the Prince of Peace, who reconciles us to God and to one another. As this candle is lit, we are reminded that Christ's peace is not just the absence of conflict, but the presence of God's wholeness and harmony in our lives.

Have a Blessed Christmas and New Year!

Fr. Ben
