As we celebrate Advent, the Light of the World grows brighter and brighter, in our Advent wreaths and in our hearts.  This Advent season, we are invited to slow down, light a candle, and spend time with Him in the quiet, allowing Him to draw near to us and inflame us with the fire of His love.

Our hearts animate our lives and Jesus cautions us to not let our hearts become drowsy and anxious.  What are we to do instead? Jesus asks us to be aware of our hearts and share with him what is going on in your heart.

There is something off in the human heart when we don't give thanks. This is why Jesus asks the leper who returned giving thanks where the others went. There are deeper questions that we have and encounter when we give thanks.

Stephanie, Joe, and Robin sit down to talk through a beautiful moment they have experienced in the past week.  Throughout this Year of Beauty, we want to take extra time to notice and savor these moments and get in the habit of sharing them with others.  All beauty is a window to the Infinite Beauty, God Himself.

When we go to Mass we reorder our lives from the things and people that reign over them to the true king, Jesus.  What are those things that we allow to reign over us? How can we give them to Jesus and allow Him to order our lives?

When we orient our lives on Christ, and not the restless anxiety that the world offers, we find that we wait for Him to come again in a blessed hope.

Beauty is a sign of the world to come, and because of that, it is sad when it is gone.  The beautiful fall leaves disappear, a moment is over, and those we love pass on.  But these memories of beauty remind us that we are not made for this world, but for the world to come.
