Advent with the Saints by Greg Friedman, OFM

Christians know that St. John the Baptist prepares the way of the Lord. Which other saints can accompany us during the four weeks of waiting for the birth of Jesus? Through insightful reflections Friedman connects us to the lives of saints and holy ones suggested by the Scriptural readings of Advent. Each day of Advent until Christmas Day, find: brief reflections on each Advent lectionary reading; saintly connections to each reading; suggested actions for each day; prayers to help you slow down and savour the season of waiting and hope.
