Daily Meditations on the Liturgical Year #1
From Advent to Epiphany
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.

This is fantastic spiritual reading for the season of Advent through the Epiphany Octave. It is excellent for families or individuals. The daily readings are brief, but full of depth and meaning.
Each day also includes a couple Saint quotes and practical resolutions.

Am I late on finishing this book? Yes, absolutely. Does it diminish the effectiveness? No, not really. Fr. Troadec has here a great installment of his liturgical year devotions packed into an easy-to-digest format of two pages a day. The base paragraphs are accessible to those at all spiritual levels, and the thoughts for the day are sourced from some of the most eminent Catholic thinkers.

Thought-provoking daily meditations. Read the whole four part series. You won't be sorry you did.
