Discover moments of quiet reflection in the busy holiday season.

The Nativity with Saints (Giotto, 1303-1306)

Reflection: Today we are drawn into the quiet beauty of Christ’s birth. Mary, tender and serene, cradles Jesus in a “baby-in-the-bed” scene many of us can probably relate to. The saints around her remind us of our call to holiness, even when we know we are weak and flawed. This Advent, we can rest in the knowledge that Jesus came not for the perfect, but for the humble and broken-hearted. In him, we find forgiveness, unconditional love, and the grace to begin anew. May we prepare our hearts to receive his love with joyful anticipation.

Let’s go deeper.

What’s below:

⭐THINK: Journaling questions to take your reflections deeper. Navigate the season with more purpose and peace.

⭐PRAY: 5-minute audio guided prayer to help you meditate on scripture. We’re diving deep into the Gospel of Luke, one chapter a day for 24 days, leading us all the way to Christmas Eve. Real spiritual connection in just a few minutes.

⭐ACT: Daily action prompt, guiding you to put your faith into practice right away. Simple, actionable steps to grow in faith daily.
