“Advent is not about a sentimental waiting for the baby Jesus,” writes Richard Rohr. Advent is a time to focus our expectations and anticipation on “the adult Christ, the cosmic Christ,” who challenges us to empty ourselves, to lose ourselves, to surrender.

Drawing on selections from his inspirational lecture, Preparing for Christmas With Richard Rohr, this booklet offers daily reflections and prayers for the Advent season, along with suggested Scripture citations and questions for reflection. A wonderful resource for personal prayer, this attractive, 80-page, pocket-sized booklet is the perfect companion for your Advent preparation.
Preparing for Christmas With Richard Rohr
Daily Reflections for Advent
Richard Rohr
“Time is exactly what we do not have. What decreases in a culture of affluence is precisely and strangely time—along with wisdom and friendship. These are the very things that the human heart was created for, that the human heart feeds on and lives for. No wonder we are producing so many depressed, unhealthy and even violent people, while also leaving a huge carbon footprint on this poor planet.”—from the reflection for Saturday of the Second Week of Advent.
