From prophecy to fulfillment, the Incarnation is the center of our holy Faith. This awe-inspiring classic will help you take a breath and ponder the hidden yet stupendous events surrounding this great mystery. You will be spiritually uplifted as you reflect upon insightful and stirring meditations — thirty each for Advent and Christmas.

Although the short reflections may be read in less than ten minutes per day, you may wish to spend time contemplating the mysteries and allowing them to nourish you again and again. Archbishop Alban Goodier provides a handy three-point summary for each meditation, as well as:

• Meditations on an event in Jesus’ life that baffles human comprehension
• An explanation of how God bestows His favors on you, as He did on the Holy Family
• Popular prayers and devotions that sprang from Advent and Christmas
• Ways in which Our Lady shows you how to live both the contemplative and the active life
