Helping to make Christ-mas more meaningful this year. Amazon Customer I haven't celebrated Advent for 30 years. Decided to get a wreath w/4 candles and saw the Benedictine Judith Sutera's book. Bought it. Truly inspirational: Rule of St. Benedict, Scripture, a Prayer and Advent Action each day. One action she suggests: "simply ask that Jesus be born again in your heart." That's what I wanted to happen this Christmas, 2015, and Sister Judith is helping me to do this. Thank you! Celeste. nice cover Still on the fence regarding the content especially compared to other similar books in this excellent series. It doesn't help that the online seller had marked it up on nearly every single page
Benedict, the patriarch of Western monasticism, for spiritual wisdom. The latest addition to Liguori’s popular series of seasonal meditation books provides not only Scripture readings for the seasons of Advent and Christmas, but pairs them with a daily selection from the cherished writings of St. For over 1,500 years, believers from all Christian traditions have looked to St. Benedict. And rightly so: his rule has shown how one may experience a simple, holy, and common sense life, despite the increasingly busy pace of our daily existence. This book encourages the reader to set aside time each day to reflect upon a specific Scripture passage and feel the words speaking to their heart.
