Engaging the Catholic imagination through the visual arts, poetry, and music!
Welcome to Advent and Christmas Artful Devotions: a beautifully curated devotional series celebrating the beauty and meaning of the Advent and Christmas season through art, music, and poetry. This devotional series aims to help individuals quiet and calm their hearts and establish a daily practice of worship and reflective anticipation during this meaningful, yet often chaotic time.
This devotional begins on the First Sunday of Advent and continues through the Baptism of the Lord. Each week, we will feature the Sunday Gospel reading alongside a piece of visual art, a musical selection, and a poem. May this site anchor you in the unparalleled beauty, mystery, and miracle of the Word Made Flesh.

“The more beautiful Eucharistic signs we behold through scriptures, in art, music, literature, and poetry — the more we will be able to see what happens at Mass. Our experience of Mass will be shaped by our memory and imagination, and vice versa.”
