1. Spend time in silent prayer
2. Reflect on the gift of Jesus in the Eucharist
3. Let the joy of humility be the foundation of your Advent
Spend some time reflecting on what St. Jane Frances de Chantal said, “In prayer, more is accomplished by listening than by talking.”
Think about what Thomas Merton said, “We will never fully appreciate the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist until we see the intimate connection that exists between the mystery of the Holy Eucharist and the mystery of the Church, the Body of Christ.”
Allow what St. Bernard of Clairvaux said to guide you, "The true measure of loving God is to love Him without measure.
End your reflection with this insight from Fr. Lewis Fiorelli, O.S.F.S. wrote, “ Humility recognizes the supremacy of God and thus of the divine will in our lives, while gentleness embodies our deep respect, even reverence, for the dignity and goodness of every person as made in God’s holy image.”
May your spiritual exercises during Advent bring you a Christmas Season that deepens your love and trust in Jesus Christ, true God, true Man.

“Tune my spirit to the music of heaven.” [St. Brendan the Navigator]
May God Be Praised and your day be Blessed.
