A Monastery Journey to Christmas

I appreciate the background, the lovely details of Advent and the profound positivity that reveals itself throughout-- especially the day after Christmas. It has shifted my perspective...12/25 is the beginning! I have read most of the entries over several years now and just love it!

Beautiful little book. The meditations begin November 15th and continue through February 2nd to include Candlemas, which is wonderful for someone looking to really prepare spiritually for the Advent and Christmas seasons, and then take the joy and spirituality of those seasons into Ordinary Time. The meditations are interesting and relevant, and even thought they are relatively short (usually just two pages or so) they are rich in history and wisdom-- I learn something new every year!

I packed this with me as I travelled around Asia during the Christmas season. Each chapter is a short and sweet meditation on various aspects of the beautiful season.

book very good. everything that I expected and more !

great

Thought provoking and peaceful Advent readings. A welcome addition to my collection.

great meditations

Love the essence of monastery life, a bit longer than the advent Roman Catholics explore. Love it!
