Journey into Advent with Prepare Your Heart, a multimedia retreat by Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR, founder of Corazón Puro. 

This prayerful guide combines scripture, daily meditations, reflection questions, journaling space, and stunning original art by Valerie Delgado of “Pax Valerie” to lead you closer to Christ in the days leading to Christmas.

Each week of Advent unfolds as a unique path rooted in Franciscan spirituality:

• The Way of Nazareth: discovering God’s hidden presence and responding to the needs of others.
• The Way of the Saints: guided by St. Lucy, St. Nicholas, St. Juan Diego, and Our Lady of Guadalupe, learning intentionality, humility, and devotion.
• The Way of St. Joseph: drawing strength from his creative courage and his role in making a home for us in God’s heart.
• The Way of Mary: embracing trust in God and learning how to say yes to His call.

Along the way, you are invited not only to prayer, but also to acts of charity and service, allowing Advent to be a season of transformation both within and around you.

More than a devotional, Prepare Your Heart is a practical and contemplative companion that immerses you in the story of Christ’s birth, helping you to encounter God’s love anew and to welcome Jesus with joy at Christmas.
