Let Jesus meet you where you are. Put down your guard. Make a commitment to have faith. Let the love of Christ pierce your inmost being this Christmas. Have you ever considered that what you are called to give this Christmas is the gift of yourself to the One who gave up everything for you?

Catholic Mindfulness
What is one thing we can do right now to put mindfulness into practice?
For a Catholic who is trying to figure out what this has to do with their interior life, I usually tell people – when you go to Mass or you go to Adoration, before praying, start off spending five minutes just being present in your body, and just feel with your senses your own breath. Pay attention to what’s actually happening right now in this moment. That will prepare you to be present with God’s Body – the Eucharist – or whatever is specifically happening in the prayer.
We often just try to go right into our prayers, as life goes on in the background of our mind. But we can stop that process by refocusing on the senses in the present moment.
What’s Your Cross?
What is your cross? What is God asking you to take up to follow Him? What is God asking you to leave behind in order to follow Him? What things stand in the way of you having a more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ?
