WELCOME TO ST AGNES ECCLESTON
Alleluia, alleluia. The virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel. Alleluia.
MASS TIMES THIS WEEK
SUNDAY 21st December
Fourth Sunday of Advent
From a barren, elderly woman John the Baptist will be born, and from a small and insignificant place our Ruler shall come forth. Through the blessed fruit of Mary’s womb, “we have been consecrated through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” In him, God’s “greatness reaches to the ends of the earth.” In these final days of Advent, the closeness of the expectant Mary makes us leap like John the Baptist in his mother’s womb. As we beg, “Let us see your face and we shall be saved,” we know that in Mary’s maternal presence our prayer is already being answered. Our Savior, who “shall be peace,” comes to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord.
