Each Sunday during Advent, we’ll share a reflection to help you deepen your spiritual experience and contemplate the mysteries of the season and the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Want to receive spiritual reflections during the Lenten and Advent seasons?
Christmas Reflection
Merry Christmas! In today’s reflection, the Liturgy Arts Group invites us to rest in the quiet wonder of Christ’s birth during Night of Silence/Silent Night. Amid the stillness, we find peace, hope, and the light of God’s love breaking through the darkness. Let us cherish this sacred moment, embracing the promise of Christ and sharing the love of the newborn Savior.
Liturgy Arts Group of Boston College
The Liturgy Arts Group (LAG) of Boston College believes in music-making as an expression of faith. With voices and instruments, LAG is committed to enriching the worship experience at Boston College through song. Students in LAG envision liturgical participation as both an honor and responsibility. By sharing voices and instruments at Sunday liturgies and special events, members deepen their connection to God and one another through song, prayer, and friendship, serving the Boston College community with joy and purpose.
