December 2025
|
Happy December. And, Happy New Year for those of you who follow the Liturgical calendar.
|
A new Liturgical Year means a few things for me:
|
- Advent is here. We bring in the new year by counting down the weeks in anticipation of the coming Messiah. Join me each Tuesday for a contemplative practice.
- The Revised Common Lectionary begins Year A which is anchored in the Gospel of Matthew.
- The Narrative Lectionary begins its fourth year and will walk through the Gospel of John from Christmas to Easter.
Below you will find resources to help you engage Advent, Christmas, Matthew, and John. Thank you for being a faithful reader. Many blessings on your holiday season. Blessed Advent. Merry Christmas. We'll see you in the New Year.

I invite you to join me for an Advent journey of contemplative art. I plan to do a livestream session every Tuesday night at 8:00pm Central Time in which I will create an original piece of art that reflects the scripture and theme for that week of Advent. You are invited to create your own art with me, or simply allow my creative process to open a contemplative space for you.
