Emmanuel means “God is With Us”, you and me, and this is our Hope and belief on our Path to the Manger.

As we move through the closing days of Advent, we keep in mind the call we have to make room for Jesus to enter more deeply into our hearts and lives.

Emmanuel means God with us. When was a moment you felt held, strengthened or seen?

The story of the Annunciation illustrates for us the attitude of heart we need to be fully prepared.

On the path to the manger, pause for prayer today. Rest in quiet, set down what weighs on you and allow your hope to become a home for Christ. Your quiet yes can become a manger of welcome.

"Do not be satisfied with mediocrity. Do not be afraid to be holy." God’s truth is our comfort and strength.

In this interview with Wyatt Goolsby of Guadalupe Radio Network, Fr. Robert Carbonneau, CP, reflects on Advent spirituality, the Passionist charism and how embracing suffering with compassion leads to healing and deeper joy as Christmas approaches.

Imagine letting go of fear and falling into God’s endless goodness. What anxiety are you asking God to transform into love today?

Maybe the message for me (us) is to remember we all have an angel and a dream.

Today’s scriptures remind us that to prepare for the coming of Christ we must look for Jesus where perhaps we least expect to find him.
