Francis Stewart is studying theology at Durham University. He shares his experience of a Week of Guided Prayer run by the Jesuit spirituality outreach team recently.
“Stay awake, praying at all times for the strength to survive all that is going to happen, and to stand with confidence before the Son of Man.” In the Gospel for the first Sunday of Advent we are reminded of the need to pray at all times; to light in our hearts a fire that never goes out.
