http://livethefaith.org/spend-time-with-god-in-silence

Spend Time with God in Silence. December 20, 2016. For while gentle silence enveloped all things, and night. In its swift course was now half gone, thy all-powerful word leaped. From heaven, from the royal throne. When it was time for Mary to give birth to Jesus, there was no room for the Holy Family at the inn. That means that the Inn would have been crammed with people scurrying around. To be honest, it sounds a little bit like the mayhem in the mall the week before Christmas. Eyes of a child.

Journey through Advent with St. Joseph. November 22, 2016. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

Develop a Vision that Goes Beyond this World. December 6, 2016. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

Spend Time with Family and Friends

http://livethefaith.org/spend-time-with-family-and-friends

Spend Time with Family and Friends. December 13, 2016. When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord. Commanded him. He took Mary as his wife. When St. Joseph took Mary into his home, the Holy Family was born, which was the first Christian family. Christmas is certainly about family, and many people get together with friends and family during this time. Nonetheless, the frantic pace of our preparations and the focus on material goods is impacting our relationship with others.
