Homewards - Advent 2024

Advent is a season of Homewards journey, away from the pursuit of self to all that is love.  It is a time of waiting.  Waiting is demanding and difficult because we are no longer in control but the One we wait for is.  The One we wait for comes to lead us home.  So, our Homewards journey which seems harder becomes a joy because we are being led by love.
In the parable of the Prodigal Son, Jesus portrays the Homewards journey as a journey driven by love.  The lost son finds himself in the joy of Homewards journey.  The pleasures he pursued left him empty and the promise of home coming fills him with inward peace.  Each step of the way he delights in the thought of 'Home.'
​It is this journey that the Royal Foundation seeks to offer initially those who are homeless but ultimately to every human soul, through Homewards.
