Advent is a special season in the Christian calendar. It's a time for getting ready to celebrate the birth of Jesus at Christmas. This year, Advent starts on Sunday 3rd December.
Our interactive Advent Calendar is designed especially for primary school students and families. It uses the See-Judge-Act-Pray rhythm to guide daily reflection on Scripture, Advent themes and Caritas stories, along with ideas for action and prayer.
#advent
This resource invites secondary schools to journey through the four weeks of Advent, reflecting on the Gospel and sharing in the stories of our sisters and brothers around the world. Each week, one of the Advent themes of hope, peace, joy and love is explored, with a special focus on the idea of integral ecology that Pope Francis emphasises in Laudato Si’ (2015) and Laudate Deum (2023).
Each week:
Pause to contemplate some words of wisdom from Pope Francis and pray the Advent prayer
Light an Advent wreath candle
Hear the Gospel (The Jerusalem Bible)
Reflect on the theme, following the Cardijn See–Judge–Act–Pray rhythm: See a Caritas story; Judge how the Advent theme is at work in this and in your own story; Act in response to all you have reflected on; and Pray to gather your thoughts and intentions and commit them to God.
