Salt & Light Presents ADORE: An Advent Journey of Prayer & Reflection Begins 11/18 & 11/19
This Advent, slow down. Make room for Jesus. ❤️
What if this Advent, instead of doing more, you made room for Jesus?
Between the Christmas shopping, decorating, holiday gatherings, and seemingly endless to-do lists, it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of the season and lose sight of the One we’re preparing to welcome.
But Advent invites us into something deeper. It’s a sacred season of waiting, longing, hope, and joyful anticipation as we prepare our hearts for the coming of our Savior.
This Advent, Our Lady of Mercy’s Salt & Light Grow Group invites you to slow down, step away from the busyness, and rediscover the beauty of preparing your heart for Jesus.
ADORE: An Advent Journey of Prayer & Reflection
Join us for ADORE: A Guided Advent Journal for Prayer and Meditation by Fr. John Burns, a beautiful four-week journey designed to help you enter more deeply into the mystery and wonder of Advent.
Through inspiring companion videos featuring Fr. John Burns, Scripture reflections, personal prayer, journaling, and meaningful small-group conversations, we’ll explore four powerful Advent themes:
- Vigilance: Awakening our hearts to God’s presence and learning to wait with hope.
- Preparation: Making room for Christ by preparing our hearts to receive Him.
- Nearness: Recognizing that God is closer to us than we sometimes realize.
- Emmanuel, God With Us: Rejoicing in the extraordinary gift of a God who comes to dwell among us.
Whether you’re looking to deepen your prayer life, reconnect with the true meaning of Christmas, or simply find a little peace amid the holiday rush, ADORE offers a beautiful opportunity to encounter Jesus in a more personal and meaningful way.
