Publisher's Synopsis
Award-winning journalist and popular blogger Deacon Greg Kandra accompanies you in prayer and reflection through the busy days and long nights of the Advent season. He comforts, challenges, and leads you toward the undying hope of Christ's birth. Daily Devotions for Advent 2018 offers prayerful guidance from the first Sunday of Advent to Christmas Day through a daily reflection on the gospel reading, a focused spiritual exercise, and a brief prayer that sums up the day's theme and asks for God's blessing. Kandra will challenge you to celebrate Advent with patience and help you be ready for a happy and holy Christmas. He keeps you focused on the mystery of Christ's coming and shows you how to prepare your heart to welcome him. Each two-page daily devotion offers brief Bible verses, prayers, practical reflections on the Word of God, and an easyto-do spiritual exercise that you can usually accomplish in a single day. The Living Gospel series of devotionals for Lent and Advent offers spiritual insight and practical wisdom from popular Catholic preachers, speakers, and homilists. A new voice each season and a simple format invite Catholics to hear and embrace the living Word of God.
