Today, take a prayer pause. Breathe, be still, and let your hope lean toward the one who comes to dwell with us.
Caryll Houselander’s words point us beyond relics and reminders to what we truly long for: Christ himself, near and real, meeting us on the road to the manger.
As we journey through “Hope on the Path to the Manger,” may our hearts stay open to more than memories. May we receive the living Christ with trust and compassion.
We were meant to have more
than relics of Christ.
We were meant to have,
and are meant to have,
Christ himself.
Caryll Houselander
