What are you doing for Advent this year? The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops invites you to join in *Journey through Advent 2021* – a series of reflections for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Catholics, as we continue to walk together towards healing and reconciliation.

The *Journey* series started on the Solemnity of Christ the King and will continue through each of the four Sundays of Advent. Every week, the CCCB will be releasing a reflection on the Gospel Reading for that Sunday. Each reflection is based one of the five essential stages of reconciliation: examen, confession, repentance, making amends, and reconciliation.

The reflections, given by the Most Reverend Donald Bolen, Archbishop of Regina, will be available both as videos and in text form on the [CCCB website](https://www.cccb.ca/evangelization-catechesis-catholic-education/video-resources/journey-through-advent/). So far, the first two have been released: *Early Missionaries and the Encounter of Worldviews*; and *The Spirit of the Treaties*.

The CCCB hopes that *Journey through Advent 2021* will inform Catholics and encourage discussion and prayerful accompaniment in preparation for the [Indigenous Delegation](https://www.cccb.ca/announcement/cccb-statement-date-of-the-delegation-to-the-holy-see/), which will be travelling to Rome to meet with Pope Francis from December 17 to 20, 2021. The CCCB also hopes these reflections will assist the faithful in preparing for [Pope Francis’ apostolic journey to Canada](https://www.cccb.ca/media-release/canadian-bishops-to-welcome-pope-francis-to-canada-on-historic-pilgrimage-of-healing-and-reconciliation/).

As Archbishop Bolen shares in his second reflection, “the path God invites us to walk on is a path of truth”.  Be with us, Lord, as we walk this journey together.
