Journey with G.K. Chesterton on the Way of Gratitude this Advent!
For G.K. Chesterton, gratitude was “the first virtue of living things,” the beginning of his entire spirituality. During this holy season of Advent, we’ll focus on bringing Gifts of Gratitude to Our Lord in the Manger.
Sign up for our Advent series and receive a daily Chesterton quotation, scripture, and reflection encouraging you to take stock of all God’s daily gifts. You’ll also receive a printable Advent Calendar and a Litany of Gratitude to aid your prayerful reflection through the season.
Learn more about our Advent journey below.
"There are few things more beautiful than gratitude."
- G.K. Chesterton
How you can participate:
We have planned something new and unique to help you enter more deeply into Advent this year. See below for the various ways you can participate as we prepare our Gifts of Gratitude for the King of Kings!
Daily email reflections
Once you sign up, you’ll begin receiving daily emails on November 30. Each day, you’ll receive a beautiful graphic featuring a Chestertonian quotation and reflection encouraging you to take stock of the many gifts God has given you—gifts great and small.
Advent Calendar
With our interactive Advent Calendar resource, you can participate by writing down a particular gratitude for each day of the season. Instead of a traditional Advent calendar, with a tiny gift behind a door for each day, this calendar has gift tags where you will fill in a gift you’ve received from God. Sign up to receive this free, downloadable print-at-home resource!
Litany of Gratitude
Participants will also receive a printable Chestertonian “Litany of Gratitude” that we have composed. There are spaces for each of the daily gratitudes from your calendar in this prayer. You can pray it daily throughout Advent, watching your growing list of gifts for which you should be grateful—sort of a prayerful version of the carol, “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” On Christmas day and for the rest of Christmastide, you will have your very own, very personal litany of praise to offer God in gratitude for the greatest gift of all: His beloved Son, Jesus Christ!

Your generous gift will help us bring the gift of gratitude into even more homes and hearts this Advent season.
