Advent preparation

I am creating this blog to help me prepare for Advent this year. It is a way to hold myself accountable for reading scripture, pondering it, and finding a concise way to share my thoughts in a public forum. I have been open to sharing these thoughts in one-on-one conversations and while teaching, but never on the internet.

The reflections will start on Sunday, 3 December 2023, the first Sunday of Advent. They will conclude on Christmas Day, 25 December 2023. Each day will include the Catholic Church’s daily gospel and a link to the readings on the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops website. While I am a practicing Catholic, I do not see these reflections as limited to this tradition, but open to all.

I hope you enjoy these readings and that they help you grow. Blessing to you during this season.
