WOMEN'S ADVENT REFLECTION
As we prepare to celebrate Christmas, join us for a morning of reflection and prayer with Christen Routh on the life of Mary as she visits Saint Elizabeth.
Before busying ourselves with the gift-givings of the season, let us take a moment to unpack some of the gifts of Our Lady as we discuss companionship, joy, gratitude, and her role as Mediatrix.

Year of St. Joseph
ST. JOSEPH
The Year of
December 8, 2020 - December 8, 2021
Saint Joseph, patron saint of the unexpected,
How freely you stepped into the unknown.
With your unwavering yes,
Saint Joseph, dreamer of dreams,
How attuned your heart was, waking and sleeping,
To the promptings of angels.
Saint Joseph, nurturing father,
How openly you accepted your unconventional family,
Lighting the way for us, too, to embrace all.
Saint Joseph, there is still so much we don't know about you,
But maybe that is your gift to us,
That we may see in the father of Jesus a mystery
That sanctifies the hidden and untold in our own lives.
May we too, live our days in the holy shadow of your son. Amen.

SYNODAL PRAYER
Holy Spirit, we are gathered in the name of Jesus. As his gift to us, guide us; make Yourself at home in our hearts, our homes and churches. You who fill the world, Holy Spirit, fill our minds and hearts. Show us the way you desire to renew the Church and give us courage to walk it. Let us find our way to harmony and unity, truth and
self-knowledge. May we run the way together to a renewed and relevant church in the world and to eternal life.
