Advent, What Is That....? Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Advent, what is that?

Towards Christmas together
with the Roman Catholic Jesuit order:
this is not necessary in a monastery,
but can be done at home

Daily you get tips for praying
from the tradition of Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556) ,
the founder of the Jesuit order

In prayer, not only the Bible is central,
but also the story of God in your own life:

"Man can deal with God like a friend with a friend."

The calendar gives a "Faith Impulse",
"Quote"
and a "Prayer Tip" every day

You can also start an exchange group
to share your prayer experiences

these are advice examples -
and how to celebrate Advent.
Then you also know
what Advent actually means:

you can celebrate Advent
according to your own design
based on the tradition of Ignatius of Loyola,
in your prayer,
in which not only the Bible is central,
but also the story of God in your own life

I've mentioned the Yezüite order here
so you have a guideline,
and know what to pray about,

light one candle every week

do it carefully, keep the 4 candles
free of all combustible material,

please God with beautiful candlelight 4 weeks long
with 4 beautiful candles,
and with your beautiful songs and prayers

God will be very happy!

Happy Advent weeks!


Sylvia Frances Chan, Evangelist
