Advent Devotional

a gold panel appears on the left with the words "Advent 2025" overlaid. The right side of the image features a painting of the holy couple and their donkey.


In early December each year, students on campus are intently focused on preparing for final exams. This idea of intentional preparation is central to the Christian spiritual traditions of Advent, providing a reflective theme in our programming.  

As an aid to individual spiritual preparation for Christmas, the Advent Daily Devotional presents brief reflections and prayers written by students, faculty, staff, and alumni drawn from the University’s Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Christian communities.  Each morning, an email is sent to subscribers containing the day’s reflection and prayer, and links to daily scripture readings. Thousands of members of the Georgetown community around the world participate in this digital retreat.
