This Advent Season, let the great and prolific Doctor of the Church, St. Alphonsus Liguori, guide you on a daily prayerful pilgrimage from the start of Advent through the birth of our Lord to the Epiphany.
Drawing on Sacred Scripture and his profound saintly counsel, St. Alphonsus takes you into the details of Christ's birth for prayerful reflection that will have your imagination placing you at the feet of our infant Lord. With meditations on the poverty of our Lord becoming man to Jesus weeping as a baby and lying on straw, St. Alphonsus will bring a humble intensity to your Advent prayer life.
The contents of these meditations are marked by both joy for the birth of our Lord and sorrow for what we know He will suffer for our salvation. Few saints have written with such passion, depth, and simplicity on the incarnation and nativity of Christ as Saint Alphonsus Liguori.
