Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., continues his Advent series with a focus on Week 3, “For your reflection, meditation and prayer, drawn from the Church’s rich spiritual history.”

In the newest compilation, the Bishop begins with Scriptural:

Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing.
In all circumstances give thanks,
for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.  1 Thessalonians 5:16

This installment of the series also quotes St. Clare of Assisi, Pope St. Paul VI, St. Teresa of Calcutta and Pope Francis. Read the series here
