Christian joy is the constant awareness of the loving presence
of Jesus, the Son of God, in our hearts. Advent is a time when we
open our minds and hearts to search for the light of love,
compassion, and peace in the Word of God. It is a time set aside
for more intentional reading of the Word of God-reading that leads
to personal reflection, prayer, contemplation, and humble service
to others. Advent challenges us to remove the barriers of
arrogance, sadness, selfishness, and greed that hinder us from
welcoming Christ with joy and living in communion with him and our
brothers and sisters.
--From the introduction
The true meaning of Advent and Christmas finds its voice in
Joyful Meditations for Every Day of Advent and the 12 Days of
Christmas. From the First Sunday of Advent through Christmas and
Epiphany for each liturgical year (A, B, and C), this book will
help prepare for and deepen our experience this holy season.
Opening each daily reflection is a Scripture quote from the
day's readings. The reflection then reaches out to us in our busy
lives to consider what God's Word has to offer us during the
holidays. Next, a thought to ponder brings home the message for
you-to really apply the reading and reflection to your life. Now
say a Prayer, an offering and petition to the Lord in our
anticipation of his arrival; finally a practice, a chance to change
your daily routine in simple ways to bring God's love to your life
this joyous season.
