  1. Oh my gosh! So many great resources here. And, I think Apocryphal Judith will be making a guest appearance at our next FHE. Thanks, April and Judith.

If we cannot talk honestly about the truth of birth, whether Jesus’ or any other baby’s, and if we continue to erase and dismiss the lived experience of women and center the lives and bodies of men, how can we ever view Mary, or any woman, as fully human?
I vaguely knew what Advent was. When I was a child my family had a fun little Advent calendar. My own children always looked forward to the chocolate Advent calendars their Grandma gave them each year. I knew that Advent was the countdown to Christmas. As I googled I learned that Advent didn’t start on December 1st. It started the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day. I learned that Catholics often light four candles during Advent. One on each Sunday.
