It is a story of the Word who took on flesh, pitched a tent among the People, and brough...
In the final week of Advent, we rest in the profound Love that draws near — Love that enters our world, dwells among us, and will one day restore all creation. This meditation offers a tender, grounding space to breathe, soften, and receive the unending Love of God as we move toward Christmas.

This meditation reflects on Joy as a quiet, courageous companion — the kind that rises in humble places and surprising moments.

In this second week of Advent, we explore the deep, steady Peace that Christ offers — not the fragile peace of circumstances, but the liberating wholeness that restores creation. With FNV-inspired Scripture, breath-centered grounding, and the FARMs method, this meditation holds space for calm, presence, and healing.

Today’s meditation is upon Pope Leo’s chosen motto: "In Illo Uno unum", which translates to "In the One, we are one". It explores the beautiful mystery that though we are many, in God we are one. Drawing from Psalm 127, the prayer of Yeshua in John 17, and the words of the authors of Acts and Ephesians, we are invited to rest in the sacred unity given to us in the Spirit.

While working in the garden, I had an unexpected encounter with a Mama Mouse that moved me deeply. In this meditation, I share that story and reflect on how it illustrates the deep, selfless, and protective love of God—a love that runs toward danger for the sake of their children. This is an invitation to rest in that divine love today.
