Advent Confessions

  • St. Michael the Archangel 424 Southwest Mill Street Portland, OR, 97201 United States (map)

As we get closer to celebrating the birth of Jesus, we can continue preparing our hearts to make room for Him. What better way than to partake in this annual Advent penance service before Christmas Day. Join us on Wednesday, December 21 at 6:30 p.m. for the opportunity of prayer and reconciliation.

Fr. Ignacio will be available to hear confessions from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

You can learn more HERE on how to do a good examination and confession.

To prepare yourself for the service:
Prayer of Abandonment

I abandon myself into your hands;
do with me what you will.
Whatever you may do, I thank you.
I am ready for all, I accept all.
Let only your will be done in me,
and in all your creatures . . .
I wish no more than this, O Lord.
Into your hands I commend my soul.
I offer it to you with all the love of my heart,
for I love you, Lord,
and so need to give myself,
to surrender myself into your hands,
without reserve and with boundless confidence.
For you are my God. Amen.
