BUILDING A CULTURE OF PEACE: An Advent Reflection

This Advent, we invite you to join with Maryknoll Affiliates as we gather to prepare our hearts to welcome the Prince of Peace. Together, let’s reflect on what it would look like to build a culture of peace – a journey that begins with peace in our hearts and leads to peace in our local communities, nation and world.
We will use the Maryknoll Office of Global Concerns’ reflection guide "Building a Culture of Peace” as our starting point. This guide includes reflection on the weekly Scripture readings during Advent, as well as prayers and examples of Maryknoll missioner experiences and suggested steps for “faith in action.”
The reflection guide can be found at: https://maryknollogc.org/resources/advent-guide-2020-building-culture-peacebuilding-culture-peace.
We will gather virtually at 3:00 pm EST on the first four Wednesdays of December (2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd).
To join us, please register with Rich Lessard at RichLessardMKA@gmail.com by December 1. When registration is complete, participants will receive a Zoom link prior to the start of our first gathering.
We hope you can join us. If you’re unable to, please still consider using the guide on your own or among family, friends or your local community or parish.
