Expectation and Joy of Advent

Advent. A season of expectation and promise, not of anxiety. Fr. Dan Riley, OFM, walks with us through this reflection so amid the anxiety of our life journeys, we come to know that amid the turmoil, we can stand up and celebrate the joy of the season, a season of expectation. Let us not cower, but gather to help each other stand up in the world. To learn more about Mt. Irenaeus Franciscan Retreat, visit www.mounti.com.
