Christmas - Meditations for the Days of Advent - book
A Daily Guide to Preparing for Christmas, the Festival of Light
"In the ancient church the four weeks before Christmas were called "Advent" and during this time the whole church prepared itself for Christmas in a spiritual sense. During those days the mysteries of Christmas were told again. I intend to lead you now into some of the mysteries Christmas brings before us" - Rev Mario. Meditations for the Days of Advent was written by Rev Mario Schoenmaker to assist us to use the days of Advent purposefully. Each meditation contains a daily inspirational message based on a Bible passage, a focus for meditation and a prayer.
As Christmas is a Festival of Light, this book of Advent Meditations is written to be used in conjunction with the daily burning of an Advent Candle. The candle is a symbol of the true light that is coming into the world, and the daily meditations describe how this light may come to each one of us, how our life can and must be changed, and how this, in turn, will lead to a greater sense of light, life and love the whole year through.
Let us, O Lord of Lords,
warm towards the advent of Christmas.
Fill us with expectation and deep inner longing.
Hold before us the graciousness of Your presence
and the greatness of what we may be.
Overshadow us with your angels;
help us to listen to their presence and their voices.
Guide us towards the ultimate goal which You have set before us,
and make us conscious of Your everlasting presence and power.
This beautifully presented hard-cover book will yield its treasures for many years.
