Peace in Reflection

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.—John 14:27 (NIV)
As the Christmas festivities come to an end and the twinkling lights begin to fade, find a peaceful space to unwind and contemplate the lessons learned and the blessings received during this special time. Feel yourself relax and recharge as you prepare for the new year ahead with renewed hope and energy.
Heavenly Father, as I unwind and reflect, help me carry the lessons and love from this season into the new year, so that I may continue to grow closer to You and spread Your light.

“Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”—Matthew 2:2 (NIV)

Serve God with a Grateful Heart

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.—Colossians 3:23 (NIV)

God Is Here

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.—John 1:14 (NIV)
As St. Josemaría Escrivá beautifully expressed, “God is here. This truth should fill our lives, and every Christmas should be for us a new and special meeting with God when we allow His light and grace to enter deep into our soul.” Let Christmas be a time of renewal and a deeper connection with God. Open your heart to His presence, allowing His light and grace to transform you from within.
Loving Father, I am grateful for the gift of Your presence in my life. May I carry the renewed strength of our connection into the days and years ahead.

Joseph’s Faithfulness

When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.—Matthew 1:24–25 (ESV)
Reflect on Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus. Despite facing uncertainty, Joseph trusted God’s plan and cared for Mary and Jesus. His steadfast commitment to his family serves as an inspiring example to trust in God’s guidance and accept your responsibilities with love and dedication.
Heavenly Father, help me learn from Joseph’s example of trust and commitment, and grant me the strength to follow Your will.

The Beauty of Winter Birds

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?—Matthew 6:26 (NIV)
