Tomorrow is World AIDS Day, when people around the world unite to show support for people living with and affected by HIV and to remember those who lost their lives to AIDS.
12.6 million people living with HIV still do not have access to treatment. HIV treatment enables people living with HIV to live long, healthy lives, & helps stop the transmission of HIV.

A poem for World AIDS Day
Love, Constancy and Patience
To be able to love others
Is a gift from God,
This I have always believed!
To be loved by others,
is also a gift from God.
This, also I believe.
But that this latter,
May, unlike,
The love of God,
Be fickle.
Subject to the moods,
And fancies,
Of the fallible humans that we are,
Be it their wandering gaze,
Or their many and varied insecurities.
But with,
UNERRING LOVE, CONSTANCY,
And INDEFATIGABLE PATIENCE, Conquering all, Leading to Peace,
TO TRANQUILITY, TO SECURITY.
If we can love,
With these three qualities,
As we love God,
As he loves us,
All we will experience,
Are the sunny uplands,
Of happy relationships,
Of course it takes PATIENCE
but the rewards are incalculable
This is a poem written by a former patient and good friend of Mildmay Mission Hospital, K, who has now sadly passed away. It is reproduced here by kind permission of his partner, Brooke.
B has also written us the following letter about how he met Kitt...

Mildmay’s Chapel is coming back to life
Now that the new COVID-safe floor has been laid, Lead Chaplain, Sister Bernie, assisted by Patrick, one of our fantastic volunteer chaplains, came into Mildmay when it was quiet over the weekend and started putting things back in place. It is now looking much like its former self.
Sister Bernie Says,
"I hope sooner rather than later to have a reconsecration of the chapel, as it has been out of action for so long and will ask one of the local Bishops when possible.
Possibly we will only have a little 'distanced' gathering in the chapel but this is an important way of recognising that Mildmay has allocated this sacred space for prayer and contemplation."

Advent begins the new Christian year and consists of four Sundays before Christmas.
It is a seasonal tradition in its own right, preceding Christmas when the birth of Christ among us is celebrated.
The advent wreath is used to symbolically commemorate newness, eternal life, and the death and resurrection of the promised Messiah.
It is coupled with the lighting of an additional candle each week, signifying the transition from darkness to light, culminating with the Christmas candle on the 25th December.
Appropriate services, prayers and hymns are used in the weeks leading up to Christmas.
This Sunday, 29 November, is the first Sunday of Advent. ... See MoreSee Less
