Last night Sr. Joan Mueller, OSC spoke at our parish on the same subject as one of her books, Praying Advent. Sr. Mueller is the latest in a series of speakers at St. Columbkille.
The book contains Three Minute Reflections on Peace, Faithfulness, Joy, and Light
o There are short reflections for each day, beginning with scripture, leading to reflection on scripture and then a spiritual exercise.
o The simple exercises honor one another and us, thus God. For example, on day the exercise is to clean a cupboard. This is a sometimes decadent task that refreshes and calms us.
o As Advent goes on, the spiritual exercises become more and more simple. In part this is due to the time restrictions that late-Advent presents, and in part because we start to find more joy in simple things.
