Here are this week’s must-reads:
+ “Make your own Magnificat this Advent. Think and pray about this. How has God surprised you with reversals in your own story when everything looked lost? How has He raised up what is small in your life? What has He done for you? Extend the song of praise into your own life and live this Advent like Mary and like all of those who came before her…” — Claire Dwyer
+ “The secret of happiness is to live moment by moment and to thank God for what He is sending us every day in His goodness.” –- St. Gianna Beretta Molla

+ “Right now during Advent, Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart.” — Bishop Barron
+ “As one liturgical year comes to a triumphant close, my. prayer for you is that you will look forward with expectation of good things in the next. Whatever the cross you carry—and I know there is one—God is working all things for your good, even now. The same King who strung galaxies together and set them spinning is deeply concerned with every movement of your heart— A heart that is broader and deeper than the universe because it is a heart that—miraculously—contains him.” — Claire Dwyer
+ “As long as matters are really hopeful, hope is a mere flattery or platitude; it is only when everything is hopeless that hope begins to be a strength at all.” — G.K. Chesterton
+ “I reach hearts by cooking meals, washing sheets, reading a favorite book one more time; cleaning and decorating a space to make it beautiful & inviting; choosing to respond graciously or writing a note of encouragement. Both literally & metaphorically, in my home I have hte privilege of washing feet every day.” — Sally Clarkson
+ “Good News of Great Joy: Today we pray with another serene scene of Mary as she receives the momentous news that she will be the Mother of God. Mary’s simple “yes” to God challenges us today. Do we always need to fully understand how things will work out before we will trust God? Do we need to know all the details? Or can we simply say yes, and let God into our hearts?” — Danielle Bean
+ “For those entering Advent in a season of waiting: What made the people of Israel hold out hope for the Messiah for so long? Why were they still waiting for Him after century after century? How were they able to endure that much long suffering and, honestly, disappointment? The answer is simple: They believed God. God had promised to send a Messiah who would restore and rule the world. They believed Him… They responded to Him.
“Now, what season of waiting are you in? I’m sure it’s painful. A gutting, fist-shaking waiting. God has promised something to you, too. This Advent, we will anticipate the birth of Jesus. Jesus, God Incarnate, promised you this: I am with you always. Your heavenly Father will give you what you need…You will find rest. So let’s hold fast through Advent — for He Who promised is faithful.” — Into the Deep
