One door a day
Door zero opens on the First Sunday of Advent. Then a new window every day, from 1 to 24 December.
About three minutes
An illustrated story narrated in your language, a short prayer read aloud, and one small gesture to live that day.
Missed a day? It waits for you
Every window stays open after its date, and there is no streak to keep. Catch up whenever you can.
25 doors from the promise to the manger
Each story is new, written for this Advent and checked against Scripture before it was narrated.
The promise
Prophets and patriarchs: the long wait of a people for the One who was to come.
November 29 – December 7The yes
Mary, Joseph, Zachary and Elizabeth: the people God chose to prepare His coming.
December 8 – December 18The night
The emperor’s decree, the road to Bethlehem, the shepherds and the first Christmas.
December 19 – December 24
A Light in the Darkness
A Light in the Darkness
This is the prayer that closes the first story, just as you will hear it in the app.
God our Father, for centuries you prepared the coming of your Son and spoke through the prophets. There is darkness in us and in the world that we cannot drive out alone. This Advent, teach us to wait for your light with patience and joy. Come, Lord Jesus, Prince of Peace, and live in our hearts and our home. Amen.
In practice, that day
Today, when night falls, light a lamp at home and say out loud: "Come, Prince of Peace."
Walk through Advent together
Send it to your family, your godchildren or your parish group, so you can listen to the same story every day.
