liturgical year. Advent is the four-week period of preparation leading up to Christmas in late November or early December, and the liturgical year ends with Christ the King Sunday in November of the following calendar year, before beginning again with a new First Sunday of Advent. The liturgical year is the cycle that gives rhythm to the life of the Church throughout the world around the events of Christ&#8217;s life, with highlights such as Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter and Pentecost.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e55ceec elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e55ceec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Through the seasons of life<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5865379 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5865379\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_tablet&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Like the rhythm of these cycles, our newsletter will take you through the story of current, recent and future events, of all those heartbeats that give rhythm to the life of our Village. Each of our lives is a story, a story we tell ourselves and others, a story that takes us from the heights of happiness to the depths of unhappiness. It&#8217;s the very condition of our human experience. While it&#8217;s true that we have no control over the events we often categorize as &#8220;positive&#8221; (a professional promotion, a long-desired romantic encounter, recovery from a painful illness, the trip of our dreams finally realized, freedom from an addiction, &#8230;.) or &#8220;negative&#8221; ones (the death of a loved one, an accident or illness that &#8220;diminishes&#8221; us, a destabilizing loss of money, the unexpected break-up of a relationship we held so dear, &#8230;), we can still find inner serenity in the midst of external changes. We can be that tree with a solid, well-anchored trunk that nonetheless dances with its welcoming branches in the elusive wind of life. In the Gospel of John 3:8, Jesus reminds us of the following: &#8220;The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it; you don&#8217;t know where it comes from or where it&#8217;s going. So it is with every human being born of the Spirit.&#8221;     <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f849a3c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f849a3c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Christmas and New Year: living in Hope<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a17ad5f elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a17ad5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_tablet&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>At this time of Christmas and the New Year, in the climate of both joyful celebrations and threatening global insecurities, we invite you to plant this tree of Hope, Peace, Joy and Love (the four traditional movements of the four weeks of Advent) in your being and in your life.
