Advent Daily Prayer Overview

We often miss Advent's power because these December weeks are full of secular Christmas parties and preparations for Christmas.  Each year, the busyness of this season serves to distract us from having an Advent season that truly prepares us for the celebration of Christmas, with all its meaning. This guide offers simple ways to enter into this Advent season, week by week, in the midst of our everyday lives. We recommend using these Daily Prayer pages, either at night or in the morning.  If we use them at night, we would use the prayer for the upcoming day.  If we use them in the morning, we would use the prayer of that day. 

This kind of prayer can be done alone or with a friend, a spouse, or one's family - in just 5-10 minutes.
