Sunday Afternoon Reflection
A Time of Quiet Expectation
Advent is a time of expectation. When around small children it is hard not to experience their increasing excitement of the coming of Christmas and the gifts under the Christmas tree. But there is a deeper expectation during Advent. It is the expectation of experiencing the Lord Jesus’ coming to us in new and more meaningful ways. Join us for an afternoon of reflection on the meaning of the Lord’s presence among us.
The afternoon includes two talks, time for private prayer/devotion, Sunday Mass and a delicious meal to round out the day. Your retreat begins at 2:00 PM; however, you may arrive any time after 1:30 PM for refreshments and fellowship.
Facilitator: Fr. Robert Flack, SJ gives individually directed and conference retreats and offers spiritual direction at Manresa. A native of Chicago, he has served as a parish priest, a college professor and as a staff member at Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat House in Barrington, IL. He also served as a spiritual director at St. Joseph College Seminary in Chicago.
