In anticipation of our annual Fall Sister Parish Celebration, which will be during Masses September 26-27th, a few of our Sister Parish Committee members sat down to share their experiences. Hear from them below!
During this liturgical year we hear from the gospel of Mark on most Sundays. Today’s gospel reading is the very beginning of Mark’s gospel. He begins by quoting the prophet Isaiah regarding our need to prepare the way of the Lord, to make straight a way for God to come into our lives.
In this Advent season we prepare to celebrate the coming of Christ at the first Christmas. We also reflect on how we can make preparations in our lives for Christ to come more clearly to us in the sacraments, the Word of God, in the least of our sisters and brothers, and as we gather in the name of the Lord Jesus. This demands openness and humility on our part as a welcoming spirit.
How is this Advent season helping you to prepare for a more profound coming of Christ into your life?
The following videos were designed to be used as a week-long prayerful experience with Psalm 23. Each video is 5-7 minutes long and focuses on one verse of the psalm. We invite you to view one video each day over 6 days or at the pace that makes sense for you. You can view them below by clicking the day you want to watch, or you can see the playlist on our YouTube channel by clicking here.
We encourage you to have your Bible or device handy to reference the Psalm as you listen. You might also consider having a notebook or journal and pen for any reflections you wish to jot down. If there are any other items that would create a prayerful environment for you, such as a candle or crucifix, have those nearby too!
