For over 1,500 years, believers from all Christian traditions have looked to St. Benedict, the patriarch of Western monasticism, for spiritual wisdom. And rightly so: his rule has shown how one may experience a simple, holy, and common sense life, despite the increasingly busy pace of our daily existence.
The latest addition to Liguori’s popular series of seasonal meditation books provides not only Scripture readings for the seasons of Advent and Christmas, but pairs them with a daily selection from the cherished writings of St. Benedict. This book encourages the reader to set aside time each day to reflect upon a specific Scripture passage and feel the words speaking to their heart.
Accessible, direct, and practical, this book will guide the reader through the season leading up to the celebration of Christ’s birth in an uplifting, spiritually refreshing way!
This Advent Calendar is beautiful and includes appropriately seasonal Scripture quotes for every day. The first week or so includes quotes mostly from Old Testament prophecies, and then it moves to quotes from the Gospels. The pictures on each window are nice, although not very detailed, but the center art is beautiful. My family loves it.
