2024 Advent Resource

10 December 2024|Prayer

The season of Advent marks a time of preparation for the coming of the Christ Child. Like the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, all people on the move deserve our special attention at this time.

Advent is a journey towards Bethlehem. May we let ourselves be drawn to the light of God made man.
Pope Francis

This Advent, JRS invites you and your communities to dedicate your Advent wreath and the lighting of candles every week to migrants and refugees.

Every Sunday, we prepare for the birth of Jesus by lighting a new candle symbolising Hope, Peace, Joy, or Love. Join us in this weekly invitation to deepen our knowledge of JRS’s mission while we remember and pray for those forcibly displaced.
