Thank you
Hope You Are Having a Blessed Advent
I follow Bishop Robert Barron on Twitter and have been reading his daily Advent reflections (I attached one in this FF). He also has published his Top 10 Resources for the Year of Mercy. You can find them here: http://goo.gl/IFMTFE
Hours of Adoration
When we had the meeting about perpetual adoration in our parish I accepted the invitation and switched my Holy Hour from Sunday 9 P.M. to Thursday 3 A.M. This is what I have discovered: Though I go to bed a little earlier I find myself laying awake or waking up an hour before my time in anxious anticipation that reminds me of the excitement that many of us feel the night before a big fishing or hunting trip when we are too excited to sleep. Though I would find myself fighting dozing during my evening hour I find myself more focused during the early morning hour and I find that I run out of hour before I run out of prayer. I have had no scheduling conflicts with my early morning hour. Though I may be a bit short on sleep after my vigil the Holy Spirit lifts me on eagles wings through the following day.
Thanks Dene, Natalie, Nancy, Jamie, and Samantha for a great music concert!
