Keeping Watch: An Advent Retreat

The King is coming. We do not know the time or the hour (Mark 13:32). Let us, then, prepare by setting aside time each day (45 to 60 minutes) to be with the Lord. Scriptures will be posted here daily. Begin by asking for the grace. (See link on left.)

Find a quiet place. Reflect on the readings. Record your experiences. Frequent the sacraments.

Grace for week 1: Pray for the grace to wake from sleep.
Scripture reading Sunday, Nov 29: Matthew 24: 36-44

Novena to the Holy Spirit

"Wait for the promise of the Father...you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you." Acts 1:5,6

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
