Prepare Your Heart

the voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight’” (Mark 1:3).

How are your Christmas preparations coming? Have you sent your cards, finished shopping, decorated your home, baked goodies? The list goes on and on.

Take a moment to pause and reflect on the real preparation you need to do — prepare your heart for the Lord. At the very top of this webpage, enter the word “Christmas” in the search box and your search will yield an abundant list of resources to help you prepare your heart for the birth of Christ. You will find Bible studies, devotions, litanies, and crafts. The list goes on and on. One devotion I especially like is “How Mary Prepared for the First Christmas”. Just as Mary listened to the Word of God, may we too prepare our hearts to receive Christ this Christmas.
