Advent Retreat in Daily Living: Preparing for the Birth of Jesus

This Retreat in Daily Living is designed to prepare ourselves to welcome the Christ child into our hearts and home. We will pray with some of the great prophets, considering the long Advent that preceded the birth of Christ. We will also reflect on the role and preparation of Mary and Joseph in the coming of Christ.

In a Retreat in Daily Living, participants commit themselves to a half-hour of prayer each day and go about their daily lives as usual. Prayer material relating to the theme of the retreat is provided for each day. In addition to a daily period of personal prayer, the participants in the retreat will meet for an hour each week. During this time they will share their experience of prayer in small groups and Professor Stabile will offer input on prayer and some of the dynamics of this type of retreat experience. She will also provide prayer material for each day of the following week. Each session runs from 12:30-1:30 and a light lunch will be served. This retreat is designed for those beginning to pray in a personal way as well as for those who have been praying for years.

Dates: Monday 11/22, 11/29, 12/6, 12/13
Location: Room 242
