Advent Reflections
The season of Advent in 2009 began on Sunday, Nov. 30, and celebrated through Christmas Eve, on Dec. 24. To help Catholic health care organizations celebrate this important season, CHA created Advent podcast reflections that should enable your associates to gather in groups or individually to reflect on the meaning of this season in their lives by downloading and listening to these short, weekly offerings. Sr. Barbara Jean Frankin, ASC, authored this series and they are read by Sr. Constance Phelps, SCL.
These reflections are offered as MP3 files for easy downloading and use. In addition, printable Word documents are included for each reflection so that participants can fully experience the message whether they prefer audio or visual messaging. Please take the opportunity to ask those participating in these reflections to read along with the audio files so that this is a participatory experience.
Overall, the goal is to provide a spiritual experience that will enhance the day-to-day work of those who serve God's people.
Reflections, and the weeks of Advent they relate to include:
