Christmas Plans

Advent is a four-week plan meant to draw our attention to the humble commencement of the Savior of our lives. This study includes four stories from Matthew and Luke. We learn God’s divine plan for the birth of Jesus Christ and experience what it was like to be present at these events. The question and answer format can be used for family devotions, group discussion, and self-study.

The Gifts of Christmas

The word advent simply means “coming.” The Advent season refers to a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the coming of Christ at Christmas. Traditionally, the church has set aside the four Sundays before Christmas as the season of Advent. This plan contains an order of prayers and readings for the four Sundays in Advent and for Christmas Eve.


Advent Readings and Prayers

St. Francis once prayed all night, “God, who are you and who am I?” In many ways the Incarnation is God’s answer to that question and the focus of these reflections. The Incarnation is love with skin on it. It is God’s “yes” to a world that has long since forgotten its belovedness, its blessedness. As you celebrate the Incarnation during this advent season, may you know your own blessedness.

The story of life is so often how light ultimately overpowers darkness. But do you find yourself lurking in the shadows longing for just the slightest glimmer of God’s glory and light?

And the light within the Christ Child.

"The 12 Days of Christmas" is a devotional designed to help readers draw near to Christ during the twelve days that begin with Christmas and end on Twelfth Night. It ends on the eve of Epiphany or Three Kings' Day, which marks the arrival of the three wise men, or Magi.
