The world rushes toward Christmas with noise and crowds, but the Church invites us to pause. In the quiet of Advent, let us prepare our hearts like the stable in Bethlehem—simple, humble, and open to receiving the Christ Child.

If October was about holding Mary’s hand, November is about looking across the table at our family—both those sitting beside us and those who have gone before us. Let us make this a month of 'holy memory' as we pray for our faithful departed and give thanks for our blessings.

For me, the Rosary has always been an invitation to simply hold our Blessed Mother’s hand as she walks us through the life of her Son. I invite you to join me in rediscovering this simple, humble prayer this month—even if you only have time for a single decade.
