Advent Reflections on EWTN




The Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) is a Catholic TV channel based in the US. It can be accessed by Satellite TV or a live stream on their website www.ewtn.com. The new School of the Annunciation, based at St Mary's Abbey, Buckfast, was invited to provide four priest to give addresses for each of the four weeks of Advent. The first is Abbot David who is well loved by many of us in Buckfast Ordinariate Group not least because he befriended us when we made our journey from the Church of England. Secondly Fr Tom is resident at the Abbey and well known for is lively and engaging style. Fr Guy Nicholls is an Oratorian Father and very well known for his calm and erudite delivery. The runt of the litter is the fourth offering from me, but my prayer is somehow it will help to highlight the Ordinariate's involvement with the School of the Annunciation.
