Advent is a time of waiting — not in haste, but in hope. It calls us to pause, reflect and prepare our hearts for Christ’s coming. May this time inspire us to live with intention — seeking peace, offering kindness and sharing joy. As the candles of the Advent wreath grow brighter, may our lives shine with faith, hope and love.

Snow is here—and so is Advent, said Rev. Scott Cartwright, Benedictine director of spiritual care, as he reflected on the season of Advent. Just as Minnesota snow is inevitable, so is the season of Advent, a time to embrace hope, peace, joy, and love. From Nov. 30 to Dec. 24, Christians reflect on Jesus’ coming and look forward with anticipation to his return. At Benedictine, we live these themes daily—through hopeful waiting, courageous peace-making, resilient joy, and self-giving love.
🌟 Have hope. Embrace peace. Live joy. Share love. 🌟
