The gift of Advent is God proposing himself to us. He comes not just to command us to do something and watch from a far. He comes to sing with us, dance with us, BE with us. With that said, it would be tragic if the Lord comes knocking in our door and we don’t open it — that we miss Emmanuel, God with us. Let us receive him and respond to him in the proper way during this Advent.
This episode is the second part of the series on Emmanuel: An Advent Devotional, which talks about how we can have the hearts to be open and available to receive God — to keep our focus on the gift of Emmanuel above and beyond everything else. It is also an invitation to ask Mary to teach us the purity of heart that she had, to see God as she did.

A Father And Son Moment
There’s an intense vulnerability to letting people into your most tender moments. Allowing someone to witness a private, cherished part of life is no small thing, and being a witness to one of these moments is an honor. There’s a particular part of Jesus’s life for which we get to be these witnesses only a few times…

Restoring Our Actions and Attitudes
How do we act? What are our attitudes toward our relationships, lives, and vocations? This week, the invitation to restoration is to start living like Jesus, and we present the Beatitudes as a way to make this happen in our lives. The Beatitudes are Jesus’ actions and attitudes. They reflect His heart—a reflection of living in a relationship with Him and ultimately being transformed…
