Praying for mothers to be - 4th Advent



Today, the 4th Sunday in Advent is the day when the Church celebrates the trust and faith that Mary had in God - the reading is the well known one where an angel visits Mary to give her the 'Good News'. It is, therefore, the day when we are asked to pray for mothers-to-be. There are plenty of them apparently but none in the Choirboy household ! Muscially today we enjoyed some traditional Christmas fare and Choirboy sang Graham Kendrick's 'Thorns in the straw'. The latter had obviously gone on long enough as far as Father Mark was concerned, for as Choirboy was applying the finishing guitar lick, Father was saying the final blessing. I suspect he was concerned about the time as the Concluding Doxology was replaced (delayed) by the draw for the Parish raffle !
