Journey to the Manger | The Nativity

In this meditation, Fr. Eric Nicolai draws us into the mystery of the Nativity as a moment of profound light shining in darkness. From the difficult journey to Bethlehem to the silence of the manger, we see how God enters the world without spectacle, yet with infinite love. Through Scripture and sharing the witness of the saints, Fr. Eric helps us examine whether our own hearts have become a place truly fit for a King. 


Listen now to reflect on: 

• The mystery of Christ choosing poverty and humility at his birth 
• Mary and Joseph’s quiet faith amid hardship and rejection 
• What it means to “make room” for Christ in our interior life 
• The Nativity as a call to conversion and simplicity of heart 
• How Advent prepares us to welcome Christ more fully at Christmas 
• Welcoming Christ more intentionally this Christmas season.
