After the long waiting, the news finally breaks over a hillside of ordinary shepherds: do not be afraid, a Savior is born. The good news of Advent is not reserved for the impressive or the worthy; it is announced freely to all people. Joy is drawing near, and it is for you as well.

Una oración (en inglés)

Lord Jesus, you came as a Savior, born for all people, and born for me. Quiet my fears with your good news of great joy. As Christmas draws near, let wonder rise in my heart again at the gift of your coming. Thank you for stepping into our world to bring us home. Amen.

Llévalo contigo (en inglés)

What would it mean to receive the good news of Christ's coming as joy meant personally for you?
