2006 Christmas Message from Sr Clare Pratt, rscj Superior General

2006 ADVENT REFLECTIONS
(thanks to Penny Sturrock)
Over the next four weeks, as we move towards the Season of Light, Christmas, I hope that you will set out with me and others who care to share the journey, on a path of reflection and contemplation of the unfolding mystery of the meaning of the birth of Jesus.
I hope you will find deep renewal, peace, joy and refreshment at every level of your journey.
Allow a short time each day to practice the way of waiting in joyful hope.
A short text will precede an invitation to be still and silent for a time where we can enter into the expectant quiet- the quiet before dawn, a time full of promise of what is uncovered as the light comes.
Perhaps you will light a candle each time you come to this page as a symbol of the presence of the Light of Christ within and amongst us.

AMASC REFLECTION DAY - 2006
It was decided by the World President, Hermine van Asten-Wennekers, that AMASC would hold every year a World Day of Reflection instead of a Study Plan over the 4years mandate. In 2006, the Reflection Day will be held on the Feast of Mater Admirabilis, 20 October. In the following three years, the Day of Reflection will be celebrated on the feast of Madeleine-Sophie in May.

For this Worldwide Reflection Day, Penny Sturrock, our Director for Spirituality on the AMASC Board and on the National and State Associations has written the following Reflections:
• Reflection for the Feast of Mater Admirabilis 20 October 2006
• Poverty in Communication
