When was the last time you received a love letter? I guess that these days they come in all shapes and sizes and social media manifestations. Often these types of letters are treasures poured over and preserved as it crystallises in one moment a significant communication from the one we love and the one who loves us.
When I think of that which we celebrate at Christmas, I think of a great love letter that God has sent to us. It is a love letter that took centuries to finally fulfil, years in the making, where God has shown God’s faithfulness in fulfilling his promise, and a love-letter that is eternal, ever faithful. The promised of ages, has arrived, the promise has been kept, the promise endures.

Hand of comfort
As Christians around the world prepare to celebrate the holiest time of the year under the shadow of the coronavirus, the image of Jesus being comforted by Mary on his way to the cross symbolises the need for us to care for each other in this time of pain and suffering.

Top marks for new school
The Matthews family couldn’t be happier with the new McAuley Community School at Hove.
Not only are their children attending the “greenest” school in the State, they also are relishing the opportunity to have their 18-month-old daughter Ava cared for on the same site at the Alive Catholic Early Learning Centre.
