Shalom World - Ornaments of Grace

Welcome to "Ornaments of Grace: Stories for Advent and Christmas" on Shalom World Podcasts, where the magic of the season comes to life in a tapestry of inspiring narratives by Fr. J Michael Sparough, SJ. Journey with us as we adorn the Christmas tree with ornaments, each delicately sketched to showcase someone living out God’s word in an extraordinary way.

Every day, a new ornament graces our tree, symbolizing a unique person's story that illuminates the path to Jesus. Each story is a beacon of hope and faith, inviting you to witness the diversity of souls featured - individuals from various religions, cultures, and times. Through their inspiring tales, we unveil the profound impact of God’s presence and grace in their lives.

As we revel in these remarkable stories, we reflect on the true essence of the holiday season. Just as each ornament adds splendor to a Christmas tree, we, too, are called to be ornaments of grace, reflecting God’s light and spreading love and joy. Join us on this heartwarming journey as we discover the beauty and grace that reside in us all, celebrating the miracle of Christmas together.
