Monday of the Fourth Week of Advent

Read

Today’s O Antiphon beseeches the Lord to free prisoners.  Read about one man’s inspiring work in prison ministry and learn about the realities of life behind bars.

Pray

During these last few days of Advent, begin your daily prayers with the O Antiphon for the day:
O Key of David,
opening the gates of God’s eternal Kingdom:
come and free the prisoners of darkness

Reflect

Read Matthew 25, and reflect on Jesus’ call for us to visit and show compassion for the imprisoned.

Act

• Receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  Also, ask God’s forgiveness for social sin.
• Learn about the The Catholic Campaign to End the Use of the Death Penalty and how you can help.
