Last weekend, we welcomed some old friends and new for our yearly Advent Retreat led by Sister Mary Philippa. The liturgy is particularly rich in this beautiful season and the retreatants were invited to pray and reflect with the Psalms that we hear during Advent.
We leave you with two of Sister Mary Philippa’s thoughts and wish you a blessed and happy Advent!
““We are all making the journey from fear and anxiety to trust. And that is why the psalms are so very precious: not just God’s self-revelation to us, but our self-revelation to God!””
““If we can entrust our cares to the Lord (by using the difficult Psalms) then the comforting words will make so much more sense, because we are not covering up our hurts, but delighting that God really wants to hear them.””
