5-Minute Prayers Around the Advent Wreath

Spend just five minutes a day praying around your Advent wreath with popular writer Lisa M. Hendey’s heart-felt reflections and you’ll experience the promise, renewal, and hope of the Advent season.

Hendey—founder of CatholicMom.com—invites you to take up the centuries-old tradition of lighting candles and gathering around an Advent wreath in prayer with friends and family. These scripture-based devotions are ideal for any age and setting, and offer a couple of minutes of simplicity, focal point, and sacred longing as you contemplate and get ready for the good gift of Christ’s birth.

Each day includes an opening antiphon and a closing prayer, a scripture reading, a short reflection, and questions to ponder, journal about, or use in conversation.

The compact size and reasonably priced price make this booklet easiest for homes, study rooms, RCIA, youth groups, adult faith formation, campus ministry, and parish settings.
