In this Advent reflection, we’re invited to see our own seasons of waiting through the same lens, to tr...

“In the days of Herod…” sets the stage for more than history, it reveals the kind of world Jesus entered and still transforms today.

What looked like Caesar’s decree was really God’s design. As Mary and Joseph trudged ninety miles to Bethlehem, their exhaustion and uncertainty were met by divine orchestration, every step fulfilling ancient prophecy. This is an invitation to see our own interruptions and detours through the sam...

Two verses. One manger. Infinite glory. Today, we’re drawn into the wonder of the moment when heaven touched earth, when the Bread of Life was born in the “House of Bread.” Jesus came not with splendor but with humility, setting the tone for a kingdom unlike any other.
