Bishop Robert Morneau, author of last year's Waiting in Joyful Hope, once again helps us pause and prepare spiritually for the coming of Christ. During the especially busy Advent and Christmas seasons, this little treasure offers down-to-earth and yet deeply meaningful reflections that bring prayer and Scripture into everyday life in a thought-provoking and lasting way. Through Morneau’s insightful reflections on Scripture readings from the daily Mass, readers will grow in their understanding of the Word of God. Small enough to fit in a pocket or purse, this book is perfect for busy people who wish to enrich their personal prayer life during the seasons of Advent and Christmas.
Bishop Robert F. Morneau is pastor of Resurrection Parish in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and also the auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Green Bay. He is a columnist for the diocesan paper, The Compass, and author of the previous edition of Waiting in Joyful Hope: Daily Reflections for Advent and Christmas 2008-2009 and Lent with Bishop Morneau (Liturgical Press, 2008).
"Bishop Morneau’s meditations capture the true spirit of Advent: a time to expand our capacity for both joy and hope."
-Robert Ellsberg, Author of All Saints
"For those who want to plunge more deeply into the spirit of Advent and Christmas this year, here is a very handy pocket-size companion to help along the way."
-The Bible Today
"We are headed into the especially busy season of Advent and Christmas, and one of the things on everyone’s list is more time for reflection. Green Bay, Wisconsin, Auxiliary Bishop Robert Morneau offers some food for thought—and a fast chance at that reflection time, with this year’s Daily Reflections for Advent and Christmas."
-Crux
"Do not be deceived. Although this is a little book which fits in the palm of the hand, it is a gem. Flowing from a prayerful heart and a lively mind, its content is both deep and broad. Bishop Morneau uses the wisdom of Scripture and literature to make the beginning of the liturgical year accessible, potent, and inspiring. Advent and Christmas become new again."
-Dana Greene, Executive Director, Aquinas Center of Theology, Emory University, Atlanta
"Joy and Hope—two virtues very much needed in the Church today, and two gifts very much at the core of the Advent and Christmas drama. Bishop Robert Morneau, a veteran author and preacher, and himself a man of joy and hope, guides us masterfully through the days preparing for and then celebrating the birth of Jesus. Those who annually whine that 'Christmas has lost its real meaning'—and count me as one of them—now have a practical way to help recover it: daily prayer, with the help of this wonderful book! Give yourself, and friends, an early Christmas gift—this book!"
-Most Reverend Timothy M. Dolan, Archbishop of Milwaukee, Wisconsin
