An Advent Journey for the Discerning Heart with Kris McGregor

This twenty-six-day Advent series invites you to prepare for Christmas by forming a listening and Discerning Heart.

Rooted in Scripture and guided by the saints, each day offers a reflection and a simple practice to help you encounter Christ more deeply.

Part One: Awakening the Listening Heart (Days 1 to 6)

These first days quiet the soul and open the ear of the heart. We explore stillness, silence, desire, openness, and the first movements of conversion.

Part Two: Following the Voice of Christ (Days 7 to 13)

Here the heart grows in recognizing how Christ speaks and guides. We reflect on trust, hope, peace, courage, and the inner movements that help us follow Him.

Part Three: Listening Through Trials, Weakness, and Silence (Days 14 to 20)

This section teaches the fidelity of the listening heart as we remain with Christ in dryness, confusion, weakness, and suffering.

Part Four: Welcoming Christ with a Heart Fully Awake (Days 21 to 26)

The final days prepare the soul to receive Christ with humility, mercy, charity, and love. Christmas becomes the moment when Christ dwells within the listening heart.
