In Advent, we prepare for the coming of Christ in history, which we celebrate at Christmas, and for his coming in glory at the end of time. We can also prepare for his coming daily into our hearts and for his coming at the end of our life to call us to our eternal home. To live Advent well, It is good to consider it like a "little Lent". In this meditation we use texts of Scripture, St Cyril of Jerusalem and St Bernard of Clairvaux to consider how we can do this:
- Learning from Mary and Joseph on their journey to Bethlehem
- Improving our life of prayer
- Living a generous spirit of penance
- Showing more love to those around us
