Advent

Building a Kingdom of Peace: A CHA Community Advent Calendar

The Catholic Health Association invites you to experience Building a Kingdom of Peace – a beautifully curated daily Advent resource designed to inspire prayer, reflection and connection throughout this sacred season.

Available digitally and as a self-standing coil-bound calendar with an accompanying poster set for display in your ministry, this resource encourages us to slow down and embrace each day of the season, recognizing how each of us fits together to build God's Kingdom of Peace.

In a special way, during the seasons of Advent and Christmas, we hear of Jesus as the Prince of Peace and perhaps sing Let There Be Peace on Earth. From our vantage point, the world may feel anything but peaceful. Yet, a shift in perspective invites us to recognize both the wonder of the universe and the vastness of God who unfolds within, among, and throughout all Creation. In that broader view, we see more clearly how each piece fits together.

Prepare to Pray

The words on these pages help to offer a plan that tills the soil of reflection. While readings citations are including on each calendar day, full text can be found here. CHA's Facilitation Resources for Reflection and Formation may also be helpful.

Take a few deep breaths. As we cultivate an inner disposition of openness and generosity, let us invite others to do the same.
