25 Verses for 25 Days<\/h2>\n

Daily Advent Reflections<\/h3>\n

Just as God\u2019s people once waited in hopeful anticipation, we, too, are called to prepare our hearts for Christ\u2019s coming\u2014learning to wait, to prepare, and to welcome Him with renewed expectation.<\/p>\n

Each day from December 1\u201325, we will share a short reflection on our Saint Matthew Facebook page<\/a><\/strong>, helping us enter more deeply into the season and embrace the promise of His arrival. Bookmarks with the daily verse are available in the Narthex.<\/p>\n

You can find the full list of daily readings below, along with what each prophecy is, and where it is fulfilled in the New Testament.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
