In Week Six, the final episode of our Advent–Epiphany series, we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany and reflect on Saint Joseph as the first adorer of Christ.

Using Matthew 2:1–12, we explore the visit of the Magi—not with all the answers, but with curiosity, imagination, and wonder. Did they know who they were looking for? Did they bring the “right” gifts on purpose? And what does that mean for how we show up before Jesus today?

This conversation moves gently into:

• Why presence is often the greatest gift we can offer God
• How Adoration doesn’t require expertise—just honesty
• What to do when prayer feels boring, intimidating, or out of reach
• The role of poverty, humility, boundaries, and community in the spiritual life
• Why God uses our natural gifts, personalities, and even our emptiness

We also share practical encouragement for anyone new to adoration or feeling stuck in their faith: start small, stay curious, and let God meet you where you are.

In Week Five of our Advent to Epiphany series, we focus on Saint Joseph, Head of the Holy Family, and the reality of responding to God when life feels anything but calm. Using the story of the Flight into Egypt, this episode explores what it looks like to hear God’s voice in the middle of fear, disruption, and uncertainty—and still move forward.

We talk honestly about the tension between wanting peace and feeling overwhelmed, the discomfort of prayer, and the challenge of trusting God when we don’t feel ready or capable. Saint Joseph doesn’t say much in Scripture, but his actions show us how to lead, protect, and surrender—one faithful step at a time.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough, unsure of the next move, or stretched beyond your comfort zone, this conversation is for you.

Scripture Focus
Matthew 2:13–15, 19–23

Highlights

• Responding to God instead of the noise around us
• Why discomfort might be a sign we’re actually listening
• Trusting God with what He’s placed in front of us—family, faith, and daily responsibilities

As Advent draws to a close, Saint Joseph invites us to make room—not just in our homes, but in our hearts.

In Week Four of A Quiet Light, we reflect on Saint Joseph, Most Obedient, and pray with Matthew 1:18–24. This Gospel reminds us that obedience isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about trusting God enough to take the next step. Joseph heard the call, woke up, and did what the Lord asked. No hesitation. Just love in motion.

The word we’re sitting with this week? ✨ Trust.
The kind that chooses surrender over control, even when the path ahead feels uncertain.

Our invitation this week is simple: notice where God may be knocking. Where might He be asking you to make room for Him—again or for the first time? Ask for the grace to say yes, even if it feels uncomfortable or unfinished.

Advent has a way of bringing the quiet and the uncomfortable to the surface, and Saint Joseph meets us there with steady strength.

In Week Three of A Quiet Light, we reflect on Saint Joseph, Terror of Demons, and pray with Zephaniah 3:11–12—a lesser-known passage that reminds us God draws near to the humble and the lowly. Joseph shows us that real strength isn’t loud or forceful. The word we’re sitting with this week? ✨ Courage. The kind that steps into the dark places trusting God is already there.

Our invitation this week is simple: bring what’s hidden into the light. Take a few quiet moments to examine your heart, and if you’re able, consider reconciliation as a way to make room for peace and joy.

Advent is a good time to slow down a little, and St. Joseph the Workman shows us what it looks like to stay steady and trust God in the middle of everyday life.

In Week Two of A Quiet Light, we focus on St. Joseph the Workman and pray with Matthew 11:28–30—Jesus’ reminder that we don’t have to carry everything alone. Joseph lived this in a very real way. The word we’re sitting with this week? ✨ Rest. The kind of rest that comes from putting things back in God’s hands.

Our invitation this week is simple: let your daily work become a place to talk to God. Whether you’re doing chores, driving, or checking things off your list, bring Him into it. Let Him lighten the load.

Welcome to Week One of A Quiet Light, our Advent journey with Saint Joseph from Advent to Epiphany. If you missed the introduction episode, go back and give it a listen — it sets the tone for everything we’re walking through together.

This week, we’re sitting with the title Saint Joseph, Most Faithful and praying with Psalm 122:1–9, the psalm Joseph himself would've prayed and carried in his heart. The word that stands out this week? Peace.
Peace in a season that often feels anything but peaceful.

In the episode, we talk about:
 • How Saint Joseph lived a simple, steady rhythm of prayer — not to check a box, but to stay rooted in God all day long.
 • How his quiet faithfulness invites us into deeper spiritual discipline, not perfection.
 • The power of posture and praying with our whole body — kneeling, lighting a candle, creating sacred space.
 • How the artwork for this week reflects Joseph’s urgency to pray and his readiness to respond to God.
 • What it means to become “expectant” with hope — not just for Mary, but for Joseph as a father preparing his heart for Jesus.

Your challenge for Week One:
Choose one small resolution that brings more light and intention into your prayer this week.
Maybe it’s five extra minutes using Lectio Divina with Scripture, kneeling beside your bed, or praying with a candle lit — one quiet step toward faithfulness.

Tune in, pray with us, and let this Advent begin gently, quietly, faithfully.

 Let's Go Be the Light.

It's one week until Advent, we’re kicking off this journey with Saint Joseph — the quiet and steady light we didn’t know we were aching for. After a year of leaning on our spiritual mamas, the Lord kept tugging our hearts in 2025 toward this good and holy father.

We’re sharing how Saint Joseph has been showing up for us, why his strength and tenderness matter right now, and how walking with his titles for six weeks — all the way through Christmas and into Epiphany — can help you slow down, breathe, and pray a little deeper this season. We hope you will join us!

It's not too late to grab your Quiet Light Devotional to follow along and join us in the saerch for peace. Visit Acadian Religious to grab yours in person or order online at www.wearethelightproject.org.

We’re bringing you another episode of Trailer Park Theology this week...what can we say, we’ve got more to share. Just a heads up: after this episode and starting 2026, we’ll be launching a brand-new feed just for Trailer Parked Theology, so make sure to follow along! ✨

This week, Josh and Kristi are talking seasons: church seasons, life seasons, and all the in-between ones.

Josh talks about what it’s like prepping for a big talk (and stressing yourself out for no good reason), how Advent is way deeper than we usually treat it, and why God’s way more interested in your heart than your perfect notes. And yes… a Delilah impression may or may not have made its way in. 😂

If you need a reminder that there really is a time for everything, this one’s for you.
Come hang out with us.

There’s truly no one who can make you laugh and grow holier in the same breath quite like Fr. Patrick. His lighthearted wisdom and authentic faith remind us that holiness is filled with humor and hope.
