December 15, 2024: "Do Less and Allow God’s Joy to Find Us" with Kate Ward

Catholic Women Preach

Preaching for the Third Sunday of Advent - Gaudete Sunday - Kate Ward offers a reflection on letting God's joy find us in the stillness: "Joy comes from resting in the presence of what is real: our God, our loved ones, the beauty of God’s creation. God help us to make do with less: less power, less wealth, less busy-ness and activity. On this Gaudete Sunday in Advent, lead us to the stillness where we find your joy." Kate Ward is Associate Professor of theological ethics at Marquette University, working in areas including economic ethics, virtue ethics, fundamental moral theology and Catholic social thought. She lives in Milwaukee with her family, where they are parishioners of Our Lady of Divine Providence in the Riverwest neighborhood.
