In Advent, we wait for the coming of our Savior. Despite the troubles we face in our lives and see in the world around us we are invited to find joy in the promises of the Lord. It is easy to get distracted by fear, discouragement, or exhaustion while we wait for the promises of God to be fulfilled.

Join us at the Ignatian Spiritual Life Center, as we explore how to cultivate joy and rejoice in God’s work in and around us, even when we do not understand His ways. Our time together will include rest, prayer, and reflection.

When:       Saturday, December 14, 2019 | 9am to Noon

Location:  Ignatian Spiritual Life Center—1611 Oak St | San Francisco

Cost:         $50 (Contact us if this is prohibitive for you)
