And Hay Became Holy: Advent 2021

 I still haven't been as active as I'd like on this little corner of the internet. August and September were incredibly full in many ways - some good, some bad. Posts I had been planning involved home projects that did not get done and the time and headspace to think of and create others evaporated. The gears are starting to turn again though, so we'll see what's in store before baby Rose arrives in Dec. . .

Something exciting I did want to share here is an Advent Devotional I had the privilege of writing for. It's a project I've been keeping secret for almost a year and I cannot wait to see how it blesses the women who pray with it in the coming season.  



For those who aren't familiar, Blessed is She is an online, Catholic women's ministry centered in prayer and community. I've been a devotional writer with the team since 2017 and have been blessed by so many friendships made within the team and with women I've met through the ministry.

Each year BIS releases an Advent and Lenten Devotional to help women enter more deeply into the liturgical seasons. The themes and writers change each time and this year's book is called "And Hay Became Holy" and invites readers to enter into the manger and pray with each "character" in the nativity. 

I wrote reflections for the first week and was assigned the ox and donkey, who have come to be two very important figures in my personal prayer since first encountering them last November. (I've been wanting to write about that experience for a year now and am excited to finally flesh it out now that the devotional has been released.)

This year's devotional includes gorgeous images to pray with using "visio divina" along with the typical scripture and writer reflections. 

You can learn more about the devotional and other Advent products like the fun bundle options (that always sell out) HERE.

Thank you so much for using my affiliate links and sharing it with others as it helps to support our sweet, growing family. 

I can't wait to pray with you! 

Peace,
Sarah
