At the St John’s Cathedral Music and Readings for Advent and Christmas, on Sunday 11th December, Bishop John Arnold had a very simple message for us: “Pope Francis is insistent that our Faith cannot be something that is merely personal and interior. Faith must be lived out in our decisions and actions. The birth of Jesus Christ was the gift of God in His love for us – sending us His Son to communicate His love for each one of us. It was the same Jesus who, after his resurrection commissioned us to go out to the whole world as his ambassadors and take that same love to those on the margins of society – the lonely, the poor, the trafficked, the broken.”
