December 4th Advent Reflection: Semper Paratus — Always Ready

Advent reminds us that God’s word always asks for a response — and usually a swift one. Mary “made haste” to Elizabeth. The shepherds made haste to the manger. God spoke, and they moved.

Dear friends —

Happy First Thursday of Advent! Thanks to your support, Letters from Leo continues to be one of the fastest-growing publications in the world.

We couldn’t do this without you.

Starting this week, all paid subscribers will receive the Letters from Leo Advent Reflection Series — a daily companion to prepare for the coming of Christ at Christmas and reckon with what his arrival demands in a nation veering toward fascism.

It’s not too late to sign up by becoming a paid subscriber. Today’s edition is below.

To give you a sense of what you’ll experience, I’ve unlocked last Sunday’s reflection to all readers. (Note that the Sunday reflections will be longer.)

These run through Christmas Day.

If you believe in this mission, here’s how you can help us this holiday season:

• Subscribe as a paid member to receive exclusive posts about the life and formation of Pope Leo and help sustain this newsletter.

• Donate with a one-time gift to fuel this project’s mission.

• Share this post (and Letters from Leo) with a friend who might enjoy it.

Whether you give $0, $1, or $1,000, your presence here matters — no matter your faith or your politics.

Thank you for reading. I’ll see you on the road.

“Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.” (Matthew 7:24)
