Thank you for visiting today. I invite you into a short spiritual exercise of prayer and meditation.(It takes 2.5-4 min.) \u00a0Simply read over the following almost 1,000 year old prayer, about 3 times, (preferably out loud-even a whisper is fine). Each time think carefully, for 30 seconds or more, about something in the passage that stands out to you, before you re-read. Then, speak with God for a few minutes about the thoughts that came to mind.<\/p>\n
Your comments, or reflections about your experience, or this prayer are quite appreciated.<\/p>\n
Thank you, and happy Advent Season.<\/p>\n
