WORTH THE WORK
Jesus is inviting everyone to do the work with him, and it happens in the most unexpected places—even us.
OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE
Mary's yes to having Jesus as her son & letting him go to the cross teaches us that a relationship with God is charged with both grace & challenge.
A PREGNANT PAUSE
Amidst the flurry of tinsel and sprinkles and holiday cheer, it is a moment to ground ourselves in the joy of waiting.
COME, LORD JESUS
Advent is a time to help deepen my longing for Jesus and justice, and recognize areas in my heart that need transformation.
AN INVITATION TO DANCE WITH CHRIST
Have I taken time out of my busy holiday preparations to make time for God lately?
YOU HAVE FOUND FAVOR WITH GOD…
I often trust myself and my own emotions over the truth of God’s love for me.
GOD IS NEAR
God knew all along that I would drift from my chosen path, but this did not stop Him from making sure I was surrounded by His love.
THE POWER AND PEACE OF FAITH
Where have you felt the hand of God guiding you perhaps in moments of unrest or despair?
PREPARE THE WAY
By mending our ways and redirecting our lives toward God, we become more present and active witnesses of hope with and for others.
BLESSED ARE ALL WHO WAIT FOR THE LORD
Never in my wildest dreams, could I imagine that a sinner like me would be worthy of a miracle.
NOW AND LATER
The time of waiting is the preparation for the future. It is in that space where real life takes place.
DOING WITH GOD
This action of doing with God constantly teaches me how to rely on God’s graces rather than allowing my weaknesses to become my crutch.
IMMEDIATE MOMENTS
Perhaps they felt a calling so strong within them when Jesus came by, that they could not say no.
LOVE ALLOWS US TO SEE
May we not be blind to the love of God, but may we see who Christ is, and how he desires to love us fully.
ARRIVING AND RETURNING TO AWAKENED LIFE
May we greet this Advent by listening to God's tender invitation to arrive or return to who we really are.
GOD, MY FATHER
As I learn to surrender my own will for God’s, I’ve been graced with less fear and more courage to share with my family where my prayer with God is leading me.
HUMBLE LIGHT
What Christmas celebrates is the promise that God-is-with-us, suffering with us, being lonely, and grieving with us.
REFLECTING GRACE
The only way out is through, and in that going through, love and grace abound in ways that interestingly would not have happened otherwise.
