Monday 11/26, 12/3, 10, 17; 12:30-1:30, MSL Room 242

Offered on the Minneapolis campus by law professor Susan Stabile.

Advent is an important time for Christians.  It is a time of preparation.  A time during which we wait in joyful hope for the coming of Jesus.  Even though we approach the end of the fall semester (and exams) it is importantthat we take some time to enter into this wonderful season.

This retreat is designed to both explore what it means to wait in joyful hope and to prepare ourselves to welcome the Christ child into our hearts and homes.  We will do so by reflecting on the meaning of Advent and on the invitation it offers us.  We will look at some models of response to that invitation presented to us in Scripture and talk about what it means to us to accept God’s invitation to transformation. We will gather weekly for some sharing on the fruits of our prayer during the week (material for daily prayer will be provided) and a talk on the week’s prayer theme.

As lunch will be served, please RVSP to Bethany Fletcher at moel1755@stthomas.edu<mailto:moel1755@stthomas.edu>.
