Joanne Guarnieri Hagemeyer Christmas

Advent For the Broken-Hearted

This devotional was adapted from a service that Mari wrote in 2023, created to honor the thrum of sorrow and loss that undulates beneath the largely cheerful Christmas songs sung throughout November and December.

Joanne Guarnieri Hagemeyer Prayer

“This Stress Is Killing Me!”

The more of us that we give to the Lord to fill, the more we will sense Jesus’s peace flooding our souls, that quiet, confident faith that pushes out fear, stress, and anxiety.

Joanne Guarnieri Hagemeyer Gospel of John

Gospel of John: Metaphor to Reality

This is the deepest purpose of Bible study and prayer – to come to know and experience God’s love for us, Father, Son and Spirit, and to share God’s love with each other. The transformation of the Holy Spirit begins and ends here, in God’s love.
