Welcome to Advent

Yesterday we entered Advent, 2013. We highlighted several of Loyola Press’ Advent resources last week, but today is a reminder of a couple. Vinita Wright’s retreat starts today, and you can get a free eBook of her Christmas story, “August’s Farm,” by subscribing to her blog.

If you’re looking for an Advent calendar, check out this online version that directs you to a different reflection each day during the season. A Spanish Advent calendar is also available.

For more ideas, see this list from the Jesuit Conference USA.

Let us know what Advent tools you’re using this season by leaving a note in the comments.
