Advent Challenge: Day 21

During this season we have been preparing our hearts and our souls for the coming of our King. Many of us have taken advantage of the sacrament of reconciliation as part of this journey or preparation. We have asked forgiveness and it has been granted. Is there anyone that you need to ask for forgiveness? Have your hurt or offended anyone? Not loved as you should? Today, apologize to someone you have wronged and seek their forgiveness.

Advent Challenge: Day 20

Today, refrain from doing something that you know negatively effects another person. Even if it isn't "bad" but you know it annoys someone, just say no. :)

Advent Challenge Day 16-19

This weekend, pay close attention to how often to you surround yourself with "noise". I love music, and tv, and the internet as much as the next person, but how often to we fill our lives with noise instead of just sitting in silence and trying to hear His voice speaking to our hearts? Pay attention to your down time, and instead of laying around listening to music or playing on facebook try sitting in silence. Even 5 minutes has potential to change your day!

Advent Challenge: Day 15

We are blessed to know Christ and to be celebrating this season!Today, take a few moments and say a prayer (a rosary, perhaps?!) for those who do not know Christ or fully understand the significance of this blessed season. Pray that He would make Himself known to them no matter where they are!

Daily Advent Challenge: Day 14

Spend today in a conscious effort to understand that fact that you are deeply loved by God. Try to rid your thoughts of the "ifs", and the conditions that distract you from the truth of His deep love for you.

Daily Advent Challenge: Day 13

Advent is a reminder that we as Christians are in a constant state of preparation. We should always be in a state of readiness for our Lord to come. Wake up 15 minutes early, or go to bed 15 minutes later in order to devote time to watchful waiting a prayer. Spending time with the One for whom we are waiting is how we can be most ready!
