Prepare for Christmas with Advent podcast meditations by Jesuits

Dec. 9, 2010 - PRLog -- In preparation for Christmas, the New England Province of Jesuits has created a series of  Advent podcasts – meditations and reflections by Jesuits  intersecting themes of Advent and Ignatian spirituality. Shane Ulbrich, a theology student at Boston College, interviewed several Jesuits and edited their reflections on Scripture passages, personal experiences and spiritual practices into four inspirational podcasts:
Anticipating Joy with Fr. Jack Butler, SJ, Fr. Robert Farrell, SJ, and Fr. Michael Boughton, SJ
Using the Examen during Advent with Fr. Jack Butler, SJ and Fr. Michael Boughton, SJ
Imaginative Prayer with Deacon Joseph Laramie, SJ
Advent Gifts and Graces with Fr. William Russell, SJ and Fr. Michael Boughton, SJ
