A Quiet Christmas: Keeping Silence with the Word is your invitation to experience the quiet awe and intimacy of the Incarnation.
This Advent, reclaim quiet and find rest. In my four week devotional, I’ll help you explore your need for sacred silence and guide you through Scriptures that reveal the mystery of God’s presence with us. We’ll use the ancient hymn “Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence” and the principles of lectio divina as a map for our journey. Through it all, you’ll learn to keep a loving silence with the Word Himself.
If you’re longing for peace in your busy season, this is for you.
This is your chance to come into a hushed and holy place, an opportunity to meditate on the deeper reality that gives birth to the joyous racket of Christmas.
Based on the principles of lectio divina (Latin for “divine reading,” an ancient form of Christian meditation), A Quiet Christmas is a nudge for you keep a few moments of silence with Jesus each day. Find the transforming peace that His presence alone can bring.
The Word still speaks. Make time to listen this Advent.
If silence makes you uncomfortable, this is for you, too.
Perhaps your world has shifted into unexpected silence—without the familiar voice of a loved one for the first time, or without the bubbling, humming comforts of home. Maybe you don’t feel much like singing. But the silence doesn’t have to be empty. Let the Word of Christ fill and grace your quiet moments.
The Word is still with us. Take comfort in His abiding presence.
