What do your prayers sound like at this time of year? Please God, make time stand still so I can get readyfor Christmas. Please God, help me find a parking spot at the mall. Or, more seriously, Please God, turn this Christmas chaos into something calm.Advent is a season of waiting, expectation, and hope. It doesn’t mean that all longings are realized, though.And even as the story of Jesus begins with the angel announcing the birthof the Saviour to Mary and the world, everyone in the story is given a voice. And those voices are heard in five prayers, traditionally called “A Pentad of Prayers.” Five prayers named after the Latin word for the start of each prayer.The Fiat mihi - Let it be with me ...The Magnificat - My soul magnifies ... The Benedictus - Blessed be the Lord ... The Gloria in excelsis - Glory to God in the highest ...The Nunc dimittis - Now dismiss your servant ...Which prayer will guide you through this season? Let’s find out, together.★ Support this podcast ★

Christmastide - Maddie McBlain

“Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place.”—Henri NouwenWe’ve all likely had the experience where someone made space for us.A grandparent, a dear friend, a stranger who didn’t speak our language, or even someone we didn’t agree with.Maybe they offered us welcome. They made us feel safe.They chose to be vulnerable.They extended kindness when they could have withheld it.Whatever the case, these kinds of experiences show us how powerful hospitality can be. How embrace transforms us. How, in a world of tension, hostility, and boundary-making, we often come alive when we choose to open and hold space for others.Let’s consider how the Scriptures show us a God like this, always making room.★ Support this podcast ★
