Waiting Well: Advent with Fr. Mike Schmitz, Journal

Advent can often feel like a countdown to Christmas, a time of frantically getting ready for the holidays. In fact, this liturgical season is all about waiting—not for a short-lived celebration, but for a person.

How we wait shapes who we become. The call of the Christian is to trust every moment matters, and that God is working here and now through periods of waiting.

Waiting well means that we are active participants in this moment, despite the uncertainties ahead. This Advent, waiting can be engaged preparation, a beautiful opportunity to let Jesus into every part of our lives.

This Advent, join Fr. Mike Schmitz as he shows you how to invite Christ into your life so you can share in his lasting peace. Waiting Well is a daily prayer journal designed to help you slow down for 10 or 15 minutes a day during the Advent season. With Fr. Mike’s guidance, you’ll prepare your heart to meet Christ in the manger.
