Advent: Short Meditations and The Great Truths
These meditations begin November 27 and run through December 31, a few days past Christmas. They are a combination of advent meditations and traditional points on the Great Truths — from our need for a Savior to points about Our Lord. When provided in the original text, there are points to make a resolution.
These are intentionally short. They are meant to provide good soil for your mind to grow fruitful activity in your pursuit of prayer with Our Lord.
There are also Christmas mediations that begin on Christmas day. This set runs into Christmastide and overlaps the Christmas set.
