Hearing Happening Hoping - A Resource for Advent

19 November 2015 in Diocesan News |

HEARING HAPPENING HOPING is a support for reading and praying the Sunday Gospel during Advent.  It is a three step process which can be used individually or with a group.  A one page guide for each of the four Sundays of Advent is available on the Killaloe Diocesan website.  If you or a group you know would like to do something to prepare to welcome Christ at Christmas this resource will help you.  The aim is to help people to come face-to-face with God’s Word. It is not a Bible course, but a focus for reading, reflecting and praying. It requires no training—the Word is already in our hearts.   Just try it!
