Reflections in anticipation of Christmas

How exactly do we prepare for Christmas? What, in fact, is Christmas for us? Father Richard Rohr suggests going beyond the sentimental “waiting for the Baby Jesus” and taking a step towards a mature perception and understanding of the incarnation of God in Christ.

According to the author, the modern world is in dire need of the living word of Jesus, so he suggests turning to the Holy Scriptures during the Christmas fast in order to worthily welcome the birth of the Son of God.

The structure of the book is simple, but it encourages deep reflection: a passage from the Holy Scriptures, the author’s thoughts, and tasks for meditating on the passage. The reader can plan his own reading schedule: you can read the book at once, or you can choose a separate chapter every day, there are 30 of them in the book.

Father Richard Rohr is a world-renowned ecumenical teacher, a Franciscan priest from the state of New Mexico, and the founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC) in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the home of the Rohr Institute. He is the author of numerous books translated into many languages ​​of the world.
