This week we contemplate Faith and Hope.
MESSAGE – Clearing Space
When you release what no longer serves, light enters.
Our Advent Booklet invites us today to take life one step, one breath, and one prayer at a time.
Amy Ellis remind us that when life seems uncertain or we are faced with situations
that feel hopeless, we can make a conscious decision to choose faith over doubt and hope over despair. Often, action is required to return us to a place of faith. It may be as simple as getting out of bed, saying a prayer, lighting a candle, and choosing to believe that a better moment will come.
QUOTES
All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action. James Russell Lowell
ACTIVITY
Space Clearing – Clean or declutter a small space (a table, drawer, or corner) and dedicate it to peace.
Reflect: What emotional or mental clutter do I also need to release—not just physical clutter?
Disconnect digitally for a period – Step away from screens and social media to reduce external stressors. For 5 minutes sit in the silence and reflect. Do some journaling if you like. Listen to the Tibetan healing sounds at least once.
On this day of Advent …
I affirm I am being guided, and I choose
to trust divine wisdom.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE
Personally, I find that it is important to have a focus or an intention behind any endeavour.
Spending time with the intention to care for my mental health and spiritual well-being is always an effort. At the same time it can be fun! Reading short, warm, and enlightening messages and affirmations, doing a short task or listening to a piece of music take only a few minutes a day but it makes a gigantic difference in my life. During these few minutes a day, I peek out of the darkness, the world full of woe, into the Light: into the Peace, Joy, Love and Warmth of the Divine Presence.
I am going to walk this Christmas journey contemplating on the Divine Light and enjoying the sense of Peace, Joy and Love that it comes with.
