Light the Candle, Slow the Season

from Relatable Catholic · host Katie & Fr. Andy

In this Advent episode, Anika and Buddy Martens join Katie to dive into the meaning behind the Advent wreath and why the Church invites us into a season of holy waiting. Together they explore how to wait well in a world that rushes ahead, and how simple practices—prayer, silence, and intentional preparation—can help us get ready for Christmas.It’s a gentle, hope-filled conversation about slowing down, lighting each candle with purpose, and making room for Christ in the small moments of everyday life. Perfect for anyone longing for a deeper, more peaceful Advent season 💜.Link to the bulletin for Hallow - https://files.ecatholic.com/23086/bulletins/20251130.pdf?t=1764079639000Fr.
