Advent: that period of restful and thoughtful preparations for the Silent Night of Angelic Peace and Joy, right? (You’re kidding, aren’t you?) If any mindfulness happens in Advent it’s because you planned it; you pushed aside intrusions, and you determined to make it happen. Make it happen!
One opportunity is planned for Monday, December 2nd, when a Quiet Day focused on “A Celtic Advent” invites you into a day of prayer and God’s close presence in the beauty of holiness at St Margaret’s House in New Hartford.
Father John LaVoe will guide the day through three brief times of prayer, plus three reflections on Celtic ways of living, praying, and seeing the world. Private time for individuals to meditate, read, journal, or walk the grounds (some have been known to nap) will recur through the day, and coffee, lunch, refreshments and spiritual direction time will be available.
Gathering time, lunchtime, and departure time will allow for conversations. Minimal registration for the event and food is set at $25 per person, and scholarships are also available as needed.
Please register by November 25th. Dress is informal and halos are not mandatory. Make it happen; nobody can but you!
