Monday 15th December
As we continue our Advent journey towards Christmas and the Winter Solstice, the days grow steadily darker, reaching their deepest point on the 21st of December. From then on, the light slowly returns—the 22nd bringing just a few precious seconds more daylight, which gradually gathers momentum with each passing day. As the season draws us inward, it also invites us to come together, to celebrate this time of year in the company of others. Let us reach out to friends and family, and find space within our busy lives to nurture all that we hold dear. Amid the rush of Christmas shopping and seasonal demands, we are reminded that the heart of this time is not what we acquire, but the simple act of being together.
