Advent with Behold the Wonder
This Advent, Ave Explores invites you to journey through the themes of the beautiful book Behold the Wonder by Katie Cavadini and Tess Cassady. Behold the Wonder offers a fresh and immersive way to enter into the season—by stepping into the world of scripture and witnessing the story of Christ’s birth unfold around you.
Imagine breathing in the scent of lilies at the Annunciation. Envision Mary embracing Elizabeth in joyful awe. Pause with the shepherds in the stillness of that holy night. Travel with the Magi beneath a guiding star, drawn to the radiant light of Christ.
Blending the ancient monastic practices of lectio divina (divine reading) and visio divina (divine seeing), Behold the Wonder leads you on a contemplative journey to encounter Jesus as Mary did—with wonder, love, and trust.
Join host Katie McGrady and special guests—including Matt Maher; Fr. Patrick Mary Briscoe, OP; Katie Cavadini; Tess Cassady, and more—as together we rediscover the beauty and mystery of Advent.
Let Mary guide you toward a renewed sense of wonder and a deeper encounter with Christ—so your heart is ready to welcome him anew, not just in the manger, but in your prayer, your relationships, and the quiet joy of Christmas morning and beyond.
