Waiting in Joyful Hope: Daily Reflections for Advent and Christmas 2006-2007: Year C

Fit this annual favorite in pocket or purse for daily use during Advent and the Christmas season. Each double-page spread contains the date, a heading, citations for all three readings, an excerpt from the day's gospel, reflection, meditation, and prayer. The author offers readers the opportunity to experience the "joyful hope" that flows from the knowledge that the historical Jesus came and remains with us in the Spirit of the Risen Christ; to overcome "all anxiety" as we await Christ's coming at Christmas, at the end of our lives, and at the end of time; and to open ourselves to Christ's coming so that we might help transform our world through his love.
