Living the Days of Advent and the Christmas Season 2004

Portada
Paulist Press, 2004 - 48 páginas
This collection of daily reflections--a perennial favorite of Paulist Press readers--is an ideal way to prepare for Advent. Instead of being a month of increasing stress, with the help of this book Advent can be a quiet season reflection on the miracle that God has come to us, will come, and is already with us now. For each day the author includes a selection from scripture or the divine office, a brief meditation, and a prayer. Together they help the hassles and trivialities of the season fall away to reveal the real and unchanging meaning beneath.
