Sunday Afternoon Reflection: Advent
Waiting with Mary
Advent is a season of waiting, of being drawn into the spiritual discipline of anticipation. Our spiritual director is Mary, the one in whom we see revealed the patience of God. As Mary waits for the Messiah, she invites us into a way of life that welcomes the gospel through our own experience of waiting and longing.
The afternoon includes two talks, time for private prayer/devotion, Sunday Mass and a delicious meal to round out the day. Your retreat begins at 2:00 PM; however, you may arrive any time after 1:30 PM for refreshments and fellowship.
Come join us as we prepare for Christmas … waiting with Mary.
