Advent ... a time to prepare
Making an Advent Retreat at Home
Each year we try to make time to prepare our hearts for the miracle of Emmanuel - Christ with us. This year, in particular, when lives and hearts are perhaps more focussed on the ‘real’ message of Christmas, it feels all the more important to prepare well. One way we can do this is to make an ‘Advent retreat’ for ourselves, which we can do at home, over the weeks preceding Christmas.
You can use this booklet however you wish, but it is planned to be used from the first Sunday of Advent, finishing on Christmas Eve.
