Highlights from an Advent Retreat

Shift your focus to prepare your heart for the coming of the Christ Child

  

The Advent season offers us gifts of joy and anticipation, but we often get so bogged down with cookies, parties, cards, and presents that stress is more common than wonderment. To help us get back on track, Vinita Wright, along with some of Loyola Press’s most popular and inspiring authors, hosted an Advent retreat on our Days of Deepening Friendship blog.

James Martin, SJ, will be sharing tips on going from secular to spiritual in our Christmas preparations and celebrations.
