About This Study

Welcome, dear friends…
to this Advent journey,
a pilgrimage of the heart,
through four sacred spaces
where heaven once touched the earth.

These are the places of Advent.
Eden.
Loreto.
Elizabeth’s home.
And a stable under starlight.

Each one holds a mystery…
a whisper of God’s coming,
a rhythm of waiting,
a quiet invitation to abide.

We begin… in Eden —
the garden of beginnings and original designs,
Here, everything was whole once,
every breath in attunement with God’s own.
But even in the ache of what was lost,
something sacred remains,
a longing, a promise,
a memory of shalom harmony still written in our bones.

Eden reminds us:
our waiting is not empty.
It is the remembering of love
that has never stopped pursuing us.

Next, we come to the House of Loreto,
a humble home,
walls worn by daily life,
where the eternal interrupted the ordinary.

Here, a young woman listens
and her “yes” ripples through all of time.
This is the place of surrender,
of saying yes to what we cannot yet understand.
The Word takes root
in the quiet soil of her trust.

And then,
we travel to Elizabeth’s house,
high in the hills.
Two women meet,
and the air is thick with recognition.
Promises leap,
joy erupts,
and prophecy dances between them.

This is the place of friendship,
of shared waiting,
of laughter through tears.
Because God often comes to us
in the embrace of another who believes.

Finally, we arrive
at the Stable —
the poorest of places,
and yet, the holiest of all.

Here, in straw and silence,
the Infinite takes on skin.
The cry of a newborn
splits the night open,
and suddenly,
everything is sacred again.

Eden.
Loreto.
Elizabeth’s home.
The Stable.

Four places.
Four doors into the mystery of Advent.
Each one inviting us
to abide —
in longing,
in surrender,
in communion,
in awe.

Because even now,
in the quiet corners of our own hearts,
God is still being born.

This Advent journey
a pilgrimage of the heart,
through four thin spaces-
where heaven once touched the earth.

These are the places of Advent.
Eden.
Loreto.
Elizabeth’s home.
And a stable under starlight.

Each one holds a mystery….
a whisper of God’s coming,
a rhythm of waiting,
a quiet invitation to abide.
