As we reflect on the Gospel for the Third Sunday of Advent, we hear John’s message to the crowd, the tax collectors, and the soldiers about embracing both a spirit of generosity and a generosity of spirit. A generosity of spirit is revealed in the way we approach others, with kindness, positivity, and hope. This attitude has the power to transform even the most challenging situations. 

As we prepare for Christmas, it’s also a time to take practical steps of generosity. For many, this time of year can feel overwhelming rather than joyful, especially for those facing financial hardship. Simple acts of kindness and support can bring hope and make a difference to families in need during this season of giving.

Important dates and reminders:
