Happy Feast of Christ the King! đź‘‘
Today is the last Sunday of the liturgical year. Which means next Sunday, the Church rings in a brand new year. No countdown, no confetti. Just one purple candle and an open invitation to start again.
And lets be honest. Most of us walk into Advent with the best intentions and a slightly terrifying to-do list. Gifts. Partys. That one relative’s dietary restrictions.
Prayer has a way of slipping into “I’ll get to it tomorrow.”
That’s why we put together the Tabella Advent Special: a lineup of prayers, reflections, music, and meditations designed to fit into real life. Your commute. Your dishwashing. Your 11 p.m. “why am I still awake” moments.
What’s in the Advent Special
True Identity: An Advent Series by Damascus
Our friends at Damascus guide us through Advent and all the way to Epiphany, looking to Mary and Joseph to rediscover who we really are: beloved children of God.
Listen to True Identity on Tabella
Advent with the Saints
A short daily devotion with a saint’s biography and a prayer for their intercession. Think of it as an Advent calendar where the chocolate is replaced by heavenly friends. (Better for your teeth, too.)
St. Andrew Christmas Novena
The beloved tradition of praying the St. Andrew prayer 15 times a day, from November 30 until Christmas. Yes, fifteen. You’ve got this.

Advent 101

Silent Nights: Advent Meditations with Mary
Five gentle nightly meditations to wind down with Our Lady, from the Annunciation to the visit of the Magi.
Gregorian Chant by Cassia & Myrrh
Contemplative chant in a single, serene voice. A refuge from the noise, and a beautiful way to pray when words run out.

One tip before you begin
Advent is not the spiritual Olympics. You don’t need to do everything.
Pick one or two. Let them become a habit. Christ isn’t grading your streak. He’s asking for your heart.
Follow, listen, and share
Follow the channels above on Tabella so you get notified every time a new episode drops.
Then share this page with your parish group chat, your family, or that friend who always says “I really should pray more.” (We all have one. Sometimes we are the one.)
Advent is better together. Let’s make room for Him, one day at a time. 🕯️
