Many people gathered on Monday last to be led into Advent stillness and prayer by the diocesan choir and Martina Lehane Sheehan in the Church of the Resurrection, Killarney. In an atmosphere of quiet and contemplation, Martina invited us to reflect on what we were hoping for as we enter Advent and on how we might create space in our lives for Christ to be born in us. The diocesan choir brought a tone of yearning with their hymns, Await the Lord with hope; Jesus, Hope for the world and See, I am near among others. People brought a small candle home with them to continue their prayer of stillness and awaiting.
