A blessed Christmas to all

Dear friends and Adventus30 participants,

Puer natus est nobis, filius datus est nobis, Alleluia! A child is born to us, a son is give to us, Alleluia! Merry Christmas!

After a few weeks of living Advent so well, at last there comes a time of feasting, of celebrating, or rejoicing and being grateful to the incredible mystery revealed to us every Christmas. Let us be filled with joy!

As our penances are relaxed, let us give thanks for the many graces we have received, and spare a little thanks - and an Ave perhaps - to all those who make Adventus30 possible. A big thanks to Adam, to Phoebe, to Marisa, and all the many people who pray in the background. A further big thanks to all those who contribute via the website to the Iria Foundation, that allows us to keep this all going.

If you would like to be made aware of Septuagesima70 and other events please do sign up through the website and we’ll let you know.

Be assured of a remembrance in my Christmas Masses, and please receive my best wishes for the Christmas Octave, and, moreover for a peaceful and joyous Jubilee year 2025.

Venite Adoremus!

Fr. Withoos
