WAVERLY (SNR) – Connie Rossini, author of “Trusting God with St. Thérèse,” will lead an online Advent retreat series with Our Lady of Good Counsel Retreat House in Waverly.
Participants may join one or all four weeks of Advent. The sessions will be held Mondays from 7 to 8 p.m. Nov. 29, Dec. 6, 13 and 20.
“Advent is a time to prepare for Christ’s coming, but what if our wounds and fears are keeping Him distant?” asked Rossini. “Learning to trust God can transform your spiritual life.”
The first week will be an introduction in learning to trust, and the following three weeks will cover trusting God and being at peace with one’s past, present and future. Topics include accepting forgiveness and forgiving, moving beyond wounds, remaining at peace and overcoming anxiety.
Rossini, a wife and mother in Omaha, gives whole families practical help to grow in holiness. She is the author of several books, including “Trusting God with St. Thérèse” and her latest book “The Contemplative Rosary with St. John Paul II and St. Teresa of Avila,” written with Dan Burke. She is the founder of the Authentic Contemplative Prayer Group on Facebook, and she blogs at contemplativehomeschool.com.
A free-will offering for the Advent Series supports the retreat house’s mission to provide a sanctuary and experience which leads people to encounter Jesus Christ.
