Advent is not about a sentimental waiting for the Baby Jesus," Richard Rohr asserts. 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. Whether you’re seeking a moment of tranquility in the midst of a busy holiday season or searching for a deeper connection with your faith, Preparing for Christmas: Daily Meditations for Advent is the perfect companion. Renowned author and spiritual teacher Richard Rohr provides profound insights and gentle guidance to inspire and uplift as you reflect on the birth of Jesus and the significance of this sacred time.
