We pray that this Advent retreat will help people see the rough, ‘Bethlehem’-like areas of their own lives not as obstacles to God, but as places of encounter with him. As we step away from the bustle of the season to hear God’s words to us, we live as the Church united in hope of the Lord’s coming.”   ![null](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/newsletter-signup.jpg?width=1080&height=1080&name=newsletter-signup.jpg)   Each week leading to Advent, online retreat attendees will receive a video reflection from one of the Daughters of Saint Paul as well as a suggested Scripture passage to read and reflect upon, a question or prompt for prayer, and a link to one of the Daughters of Saint Paul Christmas songs on Spotify. “This is the time of year we can all benefit from recalibrating our hearts to what really matters,” said Sr. Tracey Dugas, fsp, Director of Mission Advancement. “It’s very tempting to fall into what the world says we should be thinking, feeling, and believing during this time of year. Our retreat helps us focus on what God is saying with a personal video message, a companion Scripture passage, questions for reflection, and music from our Sisters. We encourage you to invite a friend or a family member who may need a little guidance hearing from and relating to the Lord in prayer. Maybe you have people you pray with regularly and this could be a fun way to spend Advent together. Our aim is to make Jesus the main event of this season and every season of our lives. Let’s meet him, intentionally, at Bethlehem.”   --- Copyright 2022 Daughters of St. Paul Images courtesy of the Daughters of St. Paul, all rights reserved. ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fthe-medianuns-invite-you-to-come-to-bethlehem%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fthe-medianuns-invite-you-to-come-to-bethlehem%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fthe-medianuns-invite-you-to-come-to-bethlehem%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=The%20%23MediaNuns%20Invite%20You%20to%20Come%20to%20Bethlehem) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fthe-medianuns-invite-you-to-come-to-bethlehem%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fthe-medianuns-invite-you-to-come-to-bethlehem%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ** #### About the Author ![Guest](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Profile%203.jpg) ### [Guest](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/guest) We welcome guest contributors who graciously volunteer their writing for our readers.
