From Advent to Epiphany

From Advent to Epiphany
Daily Readings and Meditations to Pray Alone or as a Family
by Fr Patrick Troadec

Christmas is the season of joy and peace with a charm all its own. Yet, If we are to receive everything that the Christ Child comes to give, a spiritual preparation is necessary. 

This book offers you a daily liturgical meditation from the beginning of Advent to the Baptism of Jesus, richly supplemented with prayers, thoughts and resolutions. 

The first days of Advent call to mind the return of Christ at the end of time and the long period of waiting that led up to His first coming at Christmas. The strong words of St. John the Baptist and the eloquent silence of Mary will help us open our hearts to the Infant of Bethlehem, who desires to be born anew each year in our souls. After the Nativity, the reader's glance is directed toward the manger and the Holy Family where the shepherds and the Magi invite the soul to adoration. 

The reader is then led through the richness of the feasts from Advent to the Epiphany, inviting him to live each day with Jesus and for Jesus.

Each of the daily meditations covered in this book includes a:

Quote:         Taken from Scripture, the Mass, or the Spiritual Fathers.
Meditation:  A particular truth of the Faith and how it applies to us.
Prayer:        Two short daily prayers for the reader to choose from.
Thoughts:    Daily recollections that illustrate a profound point
Resolution:  Three simple and practical resolutions.

Anyone looking to draw closer to God through the liturgy of His Church while developing the habit of daily spiritual reading and meditation needs to read this series! It continues to be a wonderful and trusted aid for Catholics of any age or walk of life. A profoundly Catholic and truly practical guide to daily growth in holiness.
