Advent and Christmas Meditations
Praying the Seasonal Gospels
by Philip St. Romain
The seasons of Advent and Christmas go together; one does not make sense without the other.
During Advent, we ponder the centuries of waiting and longing for the coming of the Christ, God’s promised Messiah; Christmas celebrates the fulfillment of this promise in the birth of Jesus.
Against the backdrop of a culture that can easily draw us into a consumeristic attitude, this little booklet invites us to be true to the spirit of the Advent and Christmas seasons by taking time to pray the Psalms and Gospel readings of the day. A short focusing statement is provided, and questions that invite your own meditation help to stimulate your own engagement with the scriptures. A method for prayer is also included in the Introduction.
How will you give priority to God this Advent and Christmas?
This booklet can help you to prayerfully keep the true spirit of the seasons.
