At a time when many of our refugee brothers and sisters experience indifference, isolation, and rejection, this Advent resource invites us to open our hearts and communities to them.

Each week, as we light the candles of the Advent wreath, we will pray, reflect, and take small actions of solidarity. Together, we prepare for the coming of Christ, who Himself came as a child without a home, welcomed by strangers, and bringing hope to a world longing for peace.

May this Advent season help us prepare not only for Christmas, but also to open our hearts to welcome each person and to recognise the unique value they bring.
