Advent Penitential Service at St Wilfrid's 5pm
Advent is a journey that we each make, a journey that is often full of the bright lights of distraction – buying presents, decorating our houses and food shopping. We lose focus on the message. The world is also a much more challenging and scarier place to live, with the constant presence of war and conflicts in and around our lives, it is diminishing the flame of hope.
But God is forever with us, and in this Holy year, Pope Francis has declared 2025 to be a special year of forgiveness and reconciliation, in which people are invited to reignite the spark in their relationship with God and one another. He uses the theme of hope, to rediscover the spirituality of God’s creation, in which we can understand ourselves as the “Pilgrims on the Earth”. We can all start this journey by remembering that the essence of Advent is about light breaking through the darkness and the great promise of Hope.
In the Penitential service today, a wooden dove was gifted to every member of the congregation to take home with them to remember to keep hope in their lives and the journey of what is to come.
