This collection of daily reflections-a perennial favorite of Paulist Press read-crs-is an ideal way to prepare for Advent. In stead of being a month of increasing stress, with the help of this book Advent can be a quiet season reflection on the miracle that God has come to us, will come, and is already with us now. For each day the author includes a selection from scripture or the divine office, a brief meditation, and a prayer. Together they help the hassles and trivialities of the season fall away to reveal the real and unchanging meaning beneath. To this end, Father Rooney has brought a fresh prespective to this work. He uses the poetry of Brother Augustine D. Towey, CM, and the art of Sister Ellen M. LaCapria, a Daughter of Charity, to provide a page a day uncovering the rich meanings of the scriptures and Feasts of these two seasons.Towey, Augustine D. is the author of 'Living the Days of Advent and the Christmas Season 2005' with ISBN 9780809142712 and ISBN 0809142716.
