4th Sunday of Advent 🕯🙏🏻

10AM Holy Mass this morning, my son Ruairi, his charming little son Daithi and I. So beautiful.☀️Today, fourth Sunday of Advent.🎆

Remembering fondly my dear Dad taking us to Holy Mass way back then in the sunny long ago. Nelly our loyal pony ferrying us safely all the way there and home, every time.

‘Don’t ever miss the Mass’, weighty words of wisdom graciously imparted to us from my beloved parents then.💎. ‘Don’t rear them with nothing’, my words to mine now.💎

Round and round the story goes.🎶☀️🙏🏻

When we know and believe without question or doubt

                                           that in all that we do, God is there to help out.

                                           We hold in our hand the golden key,

                                            to peace and joy and senerity. (Helen Steiner Rice)

‘Advent is like the final hour before the breaking of the dawn. Our prayer is simple; “Grant, we pray that we may look forward in joy to the glorious Nativity of Christ’. (Fr. John Burns)
