Preparing for Christmas by Richard Rohr

Preparing for Christmas by Richard Rohr

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.

Richard Rohr's Scriptural reflections for Advent are the perfect preparation for the Christmas season. This beautiful redesign provides daily reflections for the Advent season, along with each day's Scripture readings and questions for reflection.
