2018 Advent Calendar December 22 Challenge: "We desire to be able to welcome Jesus at Christmas-time, not in a cold manger of our heart, but in a heart full of love and humility, in a heart so pure, so immaculate, so warm with love for one another." —St. Mother Teresa.
Our Advent observance prepares our hearts to better recognize and receive the ways Jesus is present in our daily experience. Humility and simplicity are keys to that preparation because they make us vulnerable and open — we can’t hide behind pretense or appearances if we’re humble and simple. St. Mother Teresa was a great example of this humility and simplicity.

As the holiday and gift-giving rush reaches a peak this week, what is one way you might strive for simplicity or embrace humility?
