Are you making a good retreat?  I hope so. We pray that you are.  Our Holy Founder wrote some beautiful things about this holy Season of Advent...

The blessing of our Advent wreath and the lighting of its first candle

The sacred time of Advent is approaching. In it Holy Mother Church celebrates the memory of that Divine Espousal which the Eternal Word entered into with human nature in his Most Holy Incarnation. Contemplate this mystery of infinite love and give your soul the freedom to plunge into its Sea of Good. Desire and pray for that same Espousal of love between Jesus and your soul.
