Due to requests from our customers we are delighted to be able to provide access to another Fr Denis' retreat.
Father Denis McBride leads a FREE online retreat, based on his book Stations of the Infancy. Fr Denis will read twelve of the fourteen episodes chosen from the Infancy Narratives in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
Stations of the Infancy
Dear Friends,
Following the generous response to my retreat “Reflecting with Paintings” I have been encouraged to offer a retreat for Advent. Following the example of St Alphonsus Liguori, I devised a set of fourteen stations – called “Stations of the Infancy” – as a mindful way through the season of Advent.
Together with Alessandro, our film maestro, we have made a set of twelve Stations - 3 for each week of Advent. They are short pieces – each Station lasts about eight minutes – aimed at helping us approach the great feast of Christmas. You are very welcome to join us each week of Advent and I hope that this free resource will prove a helpful and joyful one.
Denis McBride, C.Ss.R.

Through the Year with the Saints
Fourteen episodes are chosen from the Infancy Narratives in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, except for the very first, which is taken from John and which stresses the awesome reality of God becoming truly human.
Advent Extra, with its theme “From darkness to light”, celebrates the Light of the World, who transforms even the darkest moments. Through articles and daily reflections, a famous painting reveals the birth of that light; birds and the world’s biggest choir sing through Covid.
In a world in which our high streets begin their celebration of Christmas months earlier, Advent is a counter-cultural ‘still small voice’.
This stunning hardback diary features a beautiful painting each month and a thought-provoking reflection by Fr Denis McBride or Sr Janet Fearns that accompanies the saints throughout the year. This diary celebrates a few of the great known saints and the ones few have heard of:we salute them all through the year.
