Monday, December 1st 

Readings: “Advent is a journey towards Bethlehem. May we let ourselves be drawn by the light of God made man.” — Pope Francis

“For outlandish creatures like us, on our way to a heart, a brain, and courage, Bethlehem is not the end of our journey but only the beginning – not home but the place through which we must pass if ever we are to reach home at last.” ― Frederick Buechner, The Magnificent Defeat

Chant: Bind my head and my heart in you, holy one, holy one, holy one — The Oriental Orthodox Order in the West

Tuesday, December 2nd

Reading: “Advent is the perfect time to clear and prepare the Way. Advent is a winter training camp for those who desire peace. By reflection and prayer, by reading and meditation, we can make our hearts a place where a blessing of peace would desire to abide and where the birth of the Prince of Peace might take place.” — Edward Hays

Chant: Deep Peace
