“Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring to you good tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a savior who is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign to you: you shall find the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” ~ Luke 2:10-12.

On this Holy Night when Christ was born, we want to take this time to wish you and your loved ones a special time to share in the wonder and Miracle of Christmas! May the light of Jesus’ Love shine upon you and fill your hearts and homes with the warmth and peace of that Holy Night. We are truly grateful for your love and support throughout the year. Know of our continued prayers, especially during this season of Christmas.

God bless you and keep you in His loving care,

All of us at The Abbey

"Jesus Is The Gift"

JOURNEY THROUGH ADVENT & CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST

LIGHT A CANDLE EACH SUNDAY AS WE JOURNEY TOWARD THE CELEBRATION OF JESUS' BIRTHDAY. THE FIRST CANDLE REPRESENTS HOPE - JESUS INVITES US TO EXPERIENCE THE HOPE AND EXPECTATION OF HIS COMING. THE SECOND REPRESENTS PEACE AND PREPARATION. WE REFLECT ON OUR LIFE AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO BECOME THE PEOPLE JESUS WANTS US TO BE. THE THIRD CANDLE IS PINK OR ROSE COLORED. IT IS A SUNDAY KNOWN AS GAUDETE SUNDAY. WE ARE MORE EXCITED AND REJOICE WITH JOYFUL HEARTS AS WE COME CLOSER TO THE DAY OF JESUS' BIRTH ON CHRISTMAS DAY. THE LAST CANDLE ON THE FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT IS TO REMIND US OF ANGEL GABRIEL'S MESSAGE FROM GOD TO EACH OF US OF HIS ENDURING AND STEADFAST LOVE. i AM WITH YOU ALWAYS - UNTIL THE END OF TIME. ~ MATTHEW 28:20

A SPIRITUAL CLASSIC FEATURED ON HALLOW-AT THE ABBEY

“The Reed of God" is the title of a spiritual classic by British Catholic writer and artist Caryll Houselander, first published in 1944 uses the central image of a hollow reed to represent the Virgin Mary as an open vessel for God's love. The book explores Mary's humanity and how, through her "hollow emptiness," she became an instrument for God's plan, a model for how all believers can be open to being used by the divine.

Hallow's Advent "Pray25" Challenge: The Hallow prayer app chose this book for its 2025 Advent prayer challenge, encouraging users to reflect on Mary's humanity and openness to God.
