A daily Catholic Advent devotional to help you slow down, pray more deeply, and prepare your heart for Christmas.
If Advent feels rushed, distracted, or overly busy, Advent with the Saints: A Daily Devotional offers a more intentional way to live the season. This Catholic Advent devotional guides readers through daily prayer, reflection, and spiritual renewal rooted in the Mass readings and bits of wisdom from the saints.
Written by Franciscan friar and gifted homilist Fr. Greg Friedman, OFM, this daily devotional leads you through Advent and the Octave of Christmas with insights shaped by scripture, the liturgy, and the long Tradition of the Church.
This Catholic daily devotional for Advent brings you into prayer alongside biblical figures such as Isaiah, St. John the Baptist, Hannah, and Mary; beloved saints including seasonal favorites St. Nicholas, St. Juan Diego, and St. Lucy; and modern-day saints such as St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and St. John XXIII.
This Catholic Advent devotional includes
- daily reflections grounded in the Mass readings;
- short, accessible spiritual practices for each day;
- prayer with scripture, saints, and the liturgical season;
- reflections for the Octave of Christmas; and
- a flexible format that can be used year after year.
Designed to accommodate the varying length of Advent across all three liturgical cycles, this devotional offers reflections for all the possible days of Advent, along with the Octave of Christmas--the eight-day period from December 25 through January 1.
Perfect for individuals, small groups, parish programs, Catholic schools, and ministry settings, this devotional also works well for bulk gifting and parish-wide Advent outreach. Advent with the Saints helps readers move beyond the noise and pressure of the season toward a more focused and prayerful Advent experience. It is a companion for anyone who wants to slow down, pray with intention, and prepare their heart to welcome Christ at Christmas.
This is the book that helps you truly live Advent--not just get through it on your way to Christmas!
