However, we still lead very busy lives during this time. In fact, life often becomes more stressful. That's why we're hoping that our daily prayers and Advent Retreat can be a great way for you to stop and experience the joy of Christ's coming into our world.
This video is also a great way to share us with friends around the world who might enjoy our resources. Whilst you're there, feel free to subscribe to our new Youtube channel too!

Luke 19:45-48
Jesus at the Temple
45 When Jesus entered the temple courts, he began to drive out those who were selling. 46 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be a house of prayer’; but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.”47 Every day he was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him. 48 Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.
Today is Friday the 24 November, the memorial of St Andrew Dung-Lac and companions, in the thirty-third week of ordinary time.
The community of Taizé sing: Tu/ amorist signer. Let me make these words my prayer, as I listen: 'Holy Spirit, come to us. Kindle in us the fire of your love.'
Today's reading is from the Gospel of Luke.
Elsewhere in the Gospels, we see Jesus treat "sinners" with great compassion. But, here,there's no hiding the fact that Jesus vents his righteous anger - turning over tables and chasing people out of the Temple.
In this very short passage we see a side to Jesus that is remarkably human: things really getting to him.
What is it, do you think, that makes Jesus so angry?
