Advent Reflections

We are excited to share that throughout Advent, our Catholic Life Ambassadors from each year group will be offering weekly reflections for every Sunday in Advent. These thoughtful reflections are a wonderful way for our school community to pause, pray and prepare during this special season.

In our First Sunday of Advent post, James A (Year 7), read a hymn from the Stanbrook Abbey Hymnal, created by the Benedictine nuns of Stanbrook Abbey. Known for their deep prayer life, beautiful liturgical music, and dedication to the Church’s spiritual tradition, the nuns have composed and preserved hymns that express devotion, unity and the movement of the Holy Spirit.

This Advent, we begin with their hymn Come, Holy Spirit, Live in Us, a prayer inviting the Spirit to dwell within us, strengthen us in love, and ignite faith in our community as we prepare for the coming of Christ.

Please follow along and check in each week on our Instagram page to see the reflections as they are shared. Click here to see our posts & reels.
