Advent Resources 2023
We are called to Ignatian contemplation and reflective prayer to encourage us during the season of Advent.
Jesuit Prayer – Receive the daily Scripture reading, an Ignatian reflection, and a short prayer each day through the app, on the website, or by signing up for the daily email. We also offer personal responses to prayer requests. All are remembered in Masses celebrated by the Jesuits.
Women’s Advent Retreat – In the Spiritual Exercises, we are challenged to attend to the movements in our soul. Feelings offer direction. Feelings over time begin to prompt us to God’s movement. This Advent season, our world seems to hold its breath… we await the Christ Child in possibility and potential: of peace/war, of hope/loss, of love/fear. Receive a weekly reflection for your own personal retreat, presented by women from the Midwest province.
