A spiritual pilgrimage through Advent, with Saint Francis and Pope Francis.
For 800 years, the little town of Greccio has invited believers to step inside the mystery of Christmas with Saint Francis. This meditation follows that same path, uniting the Pope’s reflections on the nativity with the ancient O Antiphons to guide us into a prayerful encounter with Christ. Together, they help us prepare our hearts to welcome the God who draws near.
The O Antiphon of the day is followed by insights of Pope Francis on the meaning and importance of the nativity scene, as inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi at Greccio.
