Advent Daily Dose: We Wish You a Holy Christmas (List)

December 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Prayerful Kitchen

What are you doing this week to make Christmas holy?  I have to admit, I started the novena to the Infant Jesus one day late, then forgot the second day.  So I’m not doing that one.  I need to refocus (again, didn’t I just do that Friday?) on the point of the holiday. Join [...]

Advent Daily Dose: No Crib for a Bed

December 15th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Prayerful Kitchen
