Messiah - Stories of Advent

We have a Messiah who enters into our mess. Messiah: Stories of Advent shares the testimony of several individuals who came to this realization in their lives and encountered God in the midst of the mess of doubt, relationships, and loneliness.

My Encounter

In My Encounter: How I Met Jesus in Prayer, Chika shares her journey of prayer — the highs and lows, the joys and the challenges. Her story will inspire you to dive deeper into prayer, even when it’s difficult, and give you hope, encouraging you to trust in the fact that you are not alone.

by Laurie Medina

All these changes signal the start of a very important season, but in order to get the best out of Advent, we have to do a little bit more than decking the halls and putting the good silver out.

Finding the Heart of God in Advent

by Alison Blanchet

Because we wait so much, we can be tempted to think of Advent as just another time spent waiting for something to happen.

Hope Doesn’t Always “Feel Good”

by Sophia Swinford

My mind reeled uncontrollably, worrying that I’d forgotten important to-dos, obsessing over interactions from the day, spinning with everything that could go wrong between now and the morning.

You Can Go Home to His Arms

by Faith Noah

God has proven time and time again that He’s not going anywhere. Why, then, do we fear the path ahead? Don’t we know He will be waiting for us at the end of the journey, without fail?

So… besides there being more flames present at Mass, what else changes during the Advent season? Well, I’m here to provide you with a few Advent life-hacks, to help you enter a bit more fully into this liturgical season:

It’s Time to Let Go

by Caitlin Sica

Life is filled with events that that require leaps of faith, trusting in the unknown. A long time ago, a young peasant girl, in the town of Nazareth, took a leap of faith. That girl was Mary.

by Sophia Swinford

Do you know what really bugs me about Advent? Or rather, the way people approach Advent? Everyone skips to the end.

by Life Teen

A brand new Life Teen Advent wallpaper for your desktop and phone – “Prepare the Way of the Lord” – designed by Joe Sanchez.

The One Thing I’m Doing This Advent

by Emily Pellarin

To encounter people seems to be more than just acknowledging people passing by. It’s something bigger than just waving at people or smiling at them…
