Here at Notre Dame, in recognition of Advent as a season for “Renewing Our
Hearts”, we will be engaging in a 21-day Advent challenge of waking up to God’s presence in
our ordinary lives through paying more attention to our inner movements.
We’ve all experienced being “moved”; perhaps as goosebumps, chills, a lump in our throats, or noticing tears that seem to flow out of nowhere; but we can also experience heart movements in the regular stirrings of our thoughts or emotions that surface in many ways from disappointment to delight. Unfortunately, it’s easy to “sleep” through these moments taking them for granted, but when we intentionally take note of them, we can become more aware of how the Holy Spirit might be speaking to us through them and inviting us into an encounter with God with us now.
