Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., continues his Advent series with a focus on Week 4, “For your reflection, meditation and prayer, drawn from the Church’s rich spiritual history.”

In the newest compilation, the Bishop begins with Scripture:

The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
Therefore the child to be born
will be called holy, the Son of God. Luke 1: 35

This installment of the series also quotes Pope St. Paul VI, St. Irenaeus, St. Bernard, St. Ambrose and Henri Nouwen. Read the series here.
