Your Advent on Formed.

Take the time to wait for God.

Advent prepares us for the coming of Christ. But where will he find us? In traffic? In a hurry? How about in the stillness of our soul? This year, make time for Advent, make room in your heart for the coming of Christ—experience Sojourn, a free offering of daily meditations and journaling, delivered right to your inbox. Cultivate a new longing for our Divine Redeemer and make the most of your advent journey.

Keeping a Journal of Your Journey

The practice of journaling is at the heart of the Sojourn experience. Spiritual journaling can help us make stronger resolutions and see more clearly the faithfulness of God in our life of prayer. Daily journaling prompts will help you mark your Advent journey. For an even richer experience, with room to write and more material for reflection, order the Sojourn journal while supplies last.
