A nice read for advent, created by the Irish Jesuits specifically for the Nov 2015 through January 2016 advent season. Daily reading for each day, with scripture verse and other contemplation. The small book also contains some additional meditative exercises at the end of the book, with relaxation and meditation hints to go along with them.

Wonderful Advent journey, featuring daily meditations as well as a miniature retreat, written in the Jesuit style. I did not complete the retreat this season, but the daily reflections were quite thought provoking and spiritually valuable. Pieces about forgiveness and love of others were excellent.
