Our Exodus 90 Fraternity at HR Parish will be starting our Advent Program on Sunday 28 November 2021. Our Advent Program is a 27 day spiritual exercise for men that will begin on Sunday November 28, 2021. The program is based on 3 pillars: prayer, asceticism, and fraternity which are all important aspects of the Christian life. For this exercise, we will read Sacred Scripture in preparation for the coming of our Lord. Men who join the program will commit and strive to take on the following spiritual disciplines: Read the daily Advent Reading and Reflection; Spend 20 minutes of silent contemplative prayer each day; Abstain from watching TV, movies, and televised sports unless invited by someone; Abstain from podcasts, music, and audiobooks unless invited by someone; Abstain from desserts and sweets unless offered to you by someone; Abstain from soda and sweet drinks unless offered by someone; Abstain from alcohol unless offered by someone; Make a nightly examen; Make a Holy Hour each week; and Check in with your anchor (friend doing the program) each day. Our Fraternity meets weekly on Wednesday mornings from 5:30-6:30 AM in the Church basement with the option to come early at 5:10 AM for the recitation of the Holy Rosary.
