Daily Prayer Through Advent and Christmas

A prayerful journey through Advent and Christmas 2026 …

Welcome the Holy with 38 days of guided prayer. Each morning from the First Sunday in Advent until Epiphany, you will receive an email with a link to the page where you will find a Contemplative at Home meditation to pray with that day.

Each week will offer five new meditations. There is space to breathe and flex at the end of the week: day six (Friday) will invite you to revisit a meditation from the week that was particularly significant or to simply sit in centering prayer. Day seven (Saturday) will offer an examen or review on the week of prayer.

The primary meditations are all already available in our meditation archive — signing up to this retreat will give you the benefit of a daily link in your inbox, plus access to the guided journalling sessions to daily help you review your prayer and the examen of the week of prayer. There will also be a forum if you would like to interact with others praying with the material. Please note there will not be any live gatherings associated with this retreat.

Prayer journey schedule

Beginning on Sunday 29 November through Wednesday 6 January, you will receive an email each morning with a link to that day's meditations.

When you sign up you will receive an email confirmation of your registration. I look forward to meeting you in your inbox! 🙏🏽💙
