Behold, He Comes: Meditations on the Incarnation: Daily Readings from Advent to Epiphany

by Benedict J. Groeschel

The coming of Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, is the central truth of the Christian faith. Everything in the Christian life depends on it and revolves around it. Against the backdrop of Scripture and the writings of the ancient Fathers of the Church, for each day of the Advent and Christmas seasons, Father Groeschel offers insightful reflections on Christ's coming—in history, in our personal lives, and at the end of time. A Servant Book.

It’s a nice advent and Christmas meditation guide.

It was a wonderful book to read during Advent as a preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. I hope Fr. Groeschel continue instructing us with his wisdom for many more years to come.

This is a good book for preparing for Christmas. It includes daily readings from Avent to Epiphany and has some real thought put in it. Groeshel has a TV show every Sunday evening on EWTN.

Not what I typically read as Christmas prep, it felt more Franciscan in a way, but I did it every day which is also not something I usually do.

Much love for Fr. Benedict :)
