Advent Retreat 2026

For the weeks of Advent The Ignatian Spirituality Centre offers you material for daily prayer.

Scripture

Scripture to pray with; you may like to ponder in the world in the ‘Lectio Divina’ style, or where there is a Gospel story you might like to imagine you are one of the characters in the scene – Imaginative Contemplation, also known as Ignatian Contemplation.

Music

Music: we provide a link to a suitable piece of music for the day.

Picture

Picture: each day we have a new picture to ponder which in some way links to the Scripture.

Reflection

Reflection: there is also a daily reflection which usually links the Advent theme to our world today. Each day we will also have a Grace to Ask For and an Examen Prompt to guide your prayer.
