Teresa Henrickson shares how she and her family bring the season of Advent alive through her family’s cherished traditions. She shares the joy, warmth, and significance of her family’s annual Advent kick-off party, which has become a much-anticipated celebration to mark the beginning of this holy season. Centered around the Advent wreath, this tradition is not only a festive gathering but also a time for reflection, prayer, scripture and connection.

Together, we explore how faith rituals help each family member feel a deeper sense of belonging and identity. Join us for inspiration on how to bring meaning and togetherness into your own Advent season.

It's time to celebrate the feast of "Jesus Christ, King of the Universe." In this episode, Audrey Anderson shares how she lives lit(urgical) as a single woman with a passion to live in God's love and "Divine Daughterhood" as a daughter of the King. Audrey fully embraces her role as "Godmother" and shares meaningful ways godparents can play an active role in their God children's lives. We round out this show with ideas for everyone, in all stages of life and faith to celebrate the culminating end of the Church year by honoring Christ the King.

(super easy and quick Lit tip--If you live in a city with a BK, swing by and pick up crowns after going to Mass on this special Sunday.)

Fr Cowles helps set the stage for us to start thinking about and preparing for Advent NOW, yep before it even starts. In this episode, we dive into practical and spiritual ways to prepare for Advent before the season even begins. It's easy to get caught off guard and not be fully prepared to enter into Advent with a heart open and ready to receive, especially when it sneaks up so quickly after Thanksgiving! With Fr's practical tips, ideas and encouragement--You'll be prepared to step away from the busyness of the world and reflect on the coming of Christ. Bring on the "Splash of Purple & a little bit of Penance!"
