Ordinary Things

A Benedictine Advent Companion

A free printable planner for November 29–December 24, 2026

December fills up quickly. This companion offers a place to pause, look at the week ahead and give prayer some room among the things you already have to do.

Drawing on the Sunday Gospels and the Rule of Saint Benedict, its four weekly reflections explore listening, prayer, gladness for others and hospitality. Each week pairs a calendar with a reflection and a practice page, with space to write and choose one small thing to carry into the day.
