Act

• Bless your Advent Wreath. Light the first violet candle and sing "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
• Throughout the week
  • Think of ways in which Advent can be a time to unsettle your habits and comforts in order to focus more fully on Christ and to respond to ecological destruction. Give yourself the mission of ‘reclaiming’ Advent from its usual consumerist emphasis in order to lean into a more profoundly Christian understanding of this time.
  • How do we find ourselves already ‘weighed down’ and trapped in daily life?
  • How are we already witnessing nations ‘in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea’ (Luke 21:25)?
