This Advent, awaken your imagination and behold the wonder of God’s love through the eyes of Mary. 

Behold the Wonder offers an immersive journey into the heart of the Christmas story, guiding you to experience scripture not only with the mind, but with the heart and senses.

Theology professor Catherine Cavadini and artist Anastassia Cassady weave together the ancient practices of lectio divina (divine reading) and visio divina (divine seeing), inviting you into a contemplative encounter with Christ. 

Each Sunday of Advent through the Feast of the Epiphany includes opportunities to prepare, reflect, pray, and contemplate—drawing you deeper into the story of salvation.

Step into the scenes of scripture: the angel’s greeting at the Annunciation, the joyful embrace of Elizabeth, the hushed awe of the shepherds, and the journey of the Magi beneath the guiding star. 

With Mary as your companion, you’ll come to see these moments with new eyes, encountering the beauty and humility of Christ’s birth in a way that stirs both faith and wonder.

Accompanied by stunning original artwork, reflections, and the witness of saints who embodied Mary’s trust, this book offers a rich resource for prayerful preparation. More than a devotional, it is a retreat that renews your heart and readies your soul to welcome Christ—not only at Christmas, but every day.
