INVITATION TO A JOURNEY


Instead of crashing and meandering after “the big day,” why not keep watch through these weeks that lead us from festive days into the heart of winter?

I invite you to join me for a twelve-day journey over the Twelve Days of Christmas. I’ve prepared readings and reflections for each day from Christmas to Epiphany, concluding on January 6.

I must tell you that observing the Twelve Days of Christmas is relatively new to me. I attempted to observe Christmas this way for the first time just a few years ago. But the more I am learning about this tradition, the more I am beginning to appreciate this way of celebrating Yuletide.

Why not try to enter into this long-standing tradition as a spiritual exercise? Join me here each day, beginning Christmas Day, December 25, and we'll walk hopefully together.
