Life wraps us in many things—some comforting, others confining. Responsibilities, expectations, worries, or the endless pursuit of success and approval can leave us feeling stretched thin, disconnected, or longing for something more. We might even find ourselves wrapped in the pursuit of perfection or trying to control every outcome. These wrappings, while familiar, often weigh us down.
But Advent reminds us that God offers something far greater. He wraps us in eternal, life-giving gifts: Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. These divine gifts don’t just rest on the surface of our lives—they envelop us, transforming how we see the world and how we live.
This Advent, we invite you to reflect on what wraps your life. Is it the temporary or the eternal? The burdens of this world or the gifts of God? Let us together explore how being "Draped in the Son" transforms everything.
