Seasonal Books Seasonal Days of Light and Darkness Prayerful Reflections for Advent Pamela Smith, ss.c.m. Like a clarion call, these profound, poetic reflections on the daily readings of the Advent season aim to help us slow our pace and look around us at the signs of Christ's transforming presence in our world. As we learn to see and focus, we open ourselves to Christ-sightings. He comes into our view. The author's experience of living in Israel is shared in these reflections and prayers which use the Scripture readings for Advent for all three cycles.
Questions focus on bringing together the reader's lived experiences and the longing for the Savior.
The author names where and how God is moving through human life, and offers us powerful challenges to let God reshape our lives. Each day's reflection is followed by a suggested action, then ends with the psalm of the day, beautifully crafted in contemporary language.
