Walk, run, bike, or swim to Bethlehem with the Holy Family this Advent! Families are invited to do a physical form of devotion in honor of the physical labors Saint Joseph endured for the sake of the Holy Family. This was strikingly evident in how he, in obedience to God, led pregnant Mary on a 90-mile journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem where the Divine Child was destined to be born.
The Advent Challenge:
1.) Resolve for you or your group to walk, run, swim, or bike from 9 up to 90 mile. Be creative! Encourage your family & friends to join you.
2.) Contemplate the admirable life and virtues of St. Joseph.
3.) Make a holy intention for you or your family.
Next, Make it a Move-a-thon...
