“God is Inviting You on Pilgrimage” | First Week of Advent (Year A) (feat. Fr. Mark Toups)
The Ascension Team
In this new Rejoice Program, Fr. Mark Toups invites us to encounter John the Baptist and his profound love of God in a special way.
John the Baptist exemplifies three things that allow us to enter fully into the Advent season and the Christian life: being present to the present moment, surrendering our expectations to God, and giving the Lord permission to do what he wants to do in your life.
Fr. Mark Toups prays with sacred artwork, “John the Baptist Bearing Witness” by Annibale Carracci, to draw us more deeply into contemplation.
Together with the weekly videos, this journal will help you to grow in your understanding and appreciation for the incredible gift of Christ's Incarnation. As you slow down and meditate on the readings each week, you'll find your experience of Advent transformed. By contemplating the coming of the Prince of Peace at Christmas, you'll find your own heart filled by his peace and joy.
