As we approach the season of Advent  our hope is that you will be inspired to set aside time in prayer to prepare for the Nativity of our Lord. We are planning for our Women's Faith Sharing group to meet on Thursday mornings at 10:00 AM in the Pastoral Center conference room. The material we will be using is the series by Ave Maria Press and Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR called Prepare Your Heart - A Guided Advent Journal for Prayer and Meditation. During each week of Advent, you will embark on a new path informed by Franciscan spirituality to guide you to becoming closer to God:

• Week One, the way of Nazareth: a spirituality that attunes you to the needs of others and the hidden presence of God.
• Week Two, the way of the saints: featuring Sts. Lucy, Nicholas, Juan Diego, and Our Lady of Guadalupe, whose feast days fall during Advent; they will teach you to live with intentionality, humility, and devotion.
• Week Three, the way of St. Joseph: revealing the creative courage of Jesus’s foster father, teaching you how he makes a home for each of us in the heart of God.
• Week Four, the way of Mary: a tutorial in learning how to say yes to God’s call for your life and trusting in his loving providence.
