Episode Details

C&SI brings together a series of reflections to share over the Christmas Season. Originally available for listening on Christmas Day and St Stephen's Day, we are sharing the individual reflections to allow listeners a bite size moment over the days of Christmas - to allow us to pause and reflect for a few moments and also as a reminder that Christmas is not just "the day" but a season of faith where we celebrate the wonder of the coming of Emmanuel into the messiness of human suffering and existence.

In this reflection by Fr Chris O'Donnell we listen to what he calls the message of hope. We can be strong on faith and love but especially at this time we need hope to keep alive both faith and love in our lives. 

Fr Chris chooses  'The Circle of Love' as a piece of music as he says it captures within its lyrics the message of Christmas.
