1. Think of ways how you can prepare for the coming of Jesus this Advent through
- Prayer
- Digging deeper into your generous heart
- Giving time
- Organizing a spiritual activity as counterpart to your physical holiday preparations
2. Reading the text of Merton, what challenges you?
"Our time needs more than devout Church-going people who avoid serious wrongs (or at least the wrongs that are easily recognized for what they are) but who seldom do anything constructive or positively good. It is not enough to be outwardly respectable. On the contrary, mere external respectability without deeper or more positive moral values brings discredit upon Christian faith."
3. How can you manifest your desire and longing for Christ this Advent? Which virtue represented by the four (4) Advent candles do you want to focus on building up this year?
