First Sunday of Advent!

And crazily enough I was preaching again! It was undoubtedly an honor but I cannot deny a bit nerve-wracking.

A Prayer from St. Ignatius Loyola

Or as my Alex affectionately call him, St. Iggy.

It has been on my mind and in my prayers a lot of late so I thought it would be worth sharing. Though I generally prefer my prayers in entirely modern English, I think the 'thees' and 'thous' work here.
