Monday, 22 December 2025 – Fourth Week of Advent

As Christmas draws near, today’s readings invite us into the quiet mystery of trust and surrender.

Through the story of Hannah, who offers her long-awaited son back to God, and Mary, who proclaims her joyful Magnificat, we reflect on what it truly means to give ourselves completely to the Lord. Both women teach us that every blessing is a gift — and every gift is meant to be returned in love.

In this short reflection, we connect the First Reading, the Psalm, and the Gospel through a simple story, prayerful explanation, and practical application for daily life. This episode is suitable for Catholics, Catechumens, and anyone preparing their heart for Christmas.

🕯️ Includes:

  • Opening & closing prayers
  • A short story reflection
  • Connected Scripture insights
  • Gentle Advent application

📖 Readings:

  • 1 Samuel 1:24–28
  • 1 Samuel 2:1, 4–8
  • Luke 1:46–56 (The Magnificat)

Come, let us wait in hope, rejoice in trust, and magnify the Lord together.
