Deepen your experience of Advent by participating in a collaborative online Advent calendar, combining reflections, prayer, and images. A single word from the Sunday Lectionary readings has been chosen for each day of the season of Advent. A daily meditation (in English and Spanish) and visual image inspired by this word is shared via email, with an invitation to share your personal reflections and photos via social media. These images are shared on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter with the hashtag #AdventWord, to make them easy for others to view them. Words for the current year are released in advance, to give people time to take a photo for the day’s word (or finding one in your photo archive). The words for 2022 are provided.
- Reflect on the day’s word and capture your response: a photo, written reflections, crafts, drawings, poems, found art, and other creative expressions. You can do this individually or with others.
- Contribute to this online global Advent calendar by sharing your response to the day’s word on social media using the hashtag #AdventWord: photos, poems, found art, etc.
- Reflect on others’ responses by searching social media for #adventword
