Join Fr. Brendan for an Advent Retreat, “Atomic Habits of Prayer“ in the Church 7-8pm on three Tuesday November 29, December 6, & 13 and concluding on Wednesday, December 21 as he discusses the books, Atomic Habits and Armchair Mystic.
He wants to help us develop the habit of listening prayer. He will share the science behind the formation of habits and how to lose old bad habits and make new ones. Then he will apply this science to the tradition in our Church of mystical prayer including meditation and other forms of contemplation.
Fr. Brendan says, it is possible to learn how to pray in many different forms and some of these methods will work for you and some won’t. Finding the ones that work for you can only be discovered by praying them. And that requires the forming of new habits which can be hard for incredibly busy people with full calendars. Yet we can always find time for the things we desire.
We desire to be people of prayer because a person of deep listening prayer is a person who is able to listen to others, to be peaceful and centered in their own hearts, to be calm in the face of chaos, to be kind and gentle especially those least deserving of it, to be loving at all times and to be present to others in their difficulties.
Fr. Brendan wants to share those insights with you and invites you to come in person for the four weeks of Advent from 7pm-8pm (Tuesdays, November 29, December 6, 13 and Wednesday, December 21). It will also be available on livestream but you are encouraged to come in person if possible.
