A Catholic Christmas
Carroll, Kathleen M
Advent & Christmas Product > Christmas (Books)
We hear a lot these days about the war on Christmas but, as Carroll explains, Christianity has nothing to worry about. Long before pundits complained about the secular culture taking over our holy days, the Church took secular celebrations and welcomed them into our Church calendar, making even the mundane sacred. This book explores the central Catholic celebrations of the Christmas season, uncovering a little of their history and traditions and reminding us that the power of the Incarnation transcends all efforts to shield or dilute the Good News.

Advent and Christmas: Wisdom from St Benedict
Sutera, Judith OSB
Advent & Christmas Product > Christmas (Books)
For over 1500 years, religious and laity have looked to St. Benedict, the patriarch of Western monasticism, for spiritual wisdom. Part of that wisdom is a daily period of sacred reading (lectio divina), in which a person reflects on a passage of Scripture and lets its wisdom speak to the heart.
This book provides scripture readings for the Advent and Christmas seasons, and a daily selection from St. Benedict's own cherished writings. Each daily meditation concludes with a prayer and a suggestion for personal action as an integral part of developing a deeper relationship with God. Use this book as your spiritual practice for Advent to help build your anticipation of the birth and wonder of the great gift of the Christ child.

Daybreaks: Daily Reflections for Advent & Christmas
Livingstone, Patricia H.
Advent & Christmas Product > Christmas (Books)
The strong opening chords of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" announce the season of Advent. From the Latin words venio, meaning "come," and ad, meaning "to," Advent means "coming to." The curious energy of Advent is the waiting for something that has already happened, the looking for something that is already here. It is both right now and not yet. Christians sing "O Come, O Come Emmanuel," yet Emmanuel means "God is with us."
Author Pat Livingston believes the best preparation for this celebration of the coming of our Lord at Christmas is to deepen awareness of God's presence every day, to pause in the "right now" so we can see evidence of what is already here and what is yet to come. The passages found in Daybreaks act as doorways to the Emmanuel reality and help readers notice doors opening of their own. Everyday occurrences are transformed into moments of prayer and meditation.

Raab, Ronald Patrick
Advent & Christmas Product > Christmas (Books)
In the spirit of Henri Nouwen and Mother Teresa, Ronald Raab writes from the depths of his own conversion experiences. Living and working among some of the poorest and most marginalized people of Portland, Oregon, Raab wrestles with the meaning of the Incarnation in today's fractured world and with his own identity as a Catholic priest who is called to promote the Gospel message of justice. Stories of Raab's life and ministry, interpreted alongside the Sunday Gospel readings, bring startling clarity to the profound challenges facing Catholics today. This at-home, self-directed retreat is based on the Sunday Gospel readings for Cycle A and the life-anchoring lessons Raab has gleaned from them. In addition to the Gospel texts, there are prayers, meditations, writing prompts, and spaces to journal for each day of Advent.

Way It Was : Narrative Birth Of Jesus
Byrne, Matthew
Advent & Christmas Product > Christmas (Books)

It's no more than an attempt at an exposition of the familiar Gospel text we hold in our hands, in the hope of feeling a way through the mists and notions that cloud the evangelists' record, to see the birth the way it was. A serious yet joyful glimpse into the events surrounding the Incarnation. Catholic Library World.
