Happy New Year! The Feast of the Holy Family reminds us of how Mary and Joseph cared for and supported Jesus throughout his life.  At the start of the new year, we give thanks for our families for their love and attention.

The second week of Advent is themed around PEACE.  How can we find PEACE in our own lives?  Who do you need to make PEACE with?

Jesus was an unlikely leader.  He led by the example of his own life.  He focussed on the potential of others. How can you lead by example this week?

This week's reading encourages us to 'stay awake' to seeing the needs of others.  Who will you notice this week?

'Love your neighbour as yourself'.  Easy to say, but difficult to achieve.  In our global society today, who is our neighbour?

Jesus uses the metaphor of a stone that was initially rejected by builders becoming the most important stone in a building.  The cornerstone supports the weight of all the other stones in a building. Despite our imperfections we too are valued and have the potential to the lives of others.
