Become a man of hope this Advent
Prepare your heart with the asceticism of hope for the coming of the Kingdom at Christmas.
This spiritual exercise immerses men in a time of preparation for the coming of our Lord through a disciplined life of prayer, asceticism, and fraternity.
Advent starts on December 1st and ends on Christmas. You can check it out here.
During the 24 days
Below are the disciplines of prayer, asceticism, and fraternity that you will take up in this exercise.
What you’ll do during Advent:
- 20 minutes of daily silent prayer; reading from Scripture and reflections on the Exodus app
- Fast and Abstain from Meat on Wednesday and Fridays
- Cold Shower Fridays (don’t worry, there’s only 3)
- Make a Weekly Holy Hour
- Catch and root out cynical, sarcastic, and negative speech
What to Expect
Advent is a time to grow in our longing and expectation for the fulfillment of all things and the definitive establishment of Jesus’s reign. He is coming soon, and we must be ready to greet him.

Advent with Exodus
It can be hard to know what to do during Advent. Lent has a clearer focus of praying and fasting with Jesus in the desert. Advent focuses on expectation and hope, but what should we expect during Advent?
