Advent Book Of Days
$16.99Add to cartDrawing from the medieval tradition of the illuminated Book of Hours, Gregory Cameron has created a collection of visio divina for Advent.
The aim of this little volume is to give everyone who celebrates Christmas some spiritual food to nurture them through the journey of Advent.
There is a chapter for each day from December 1 to December 25, with a reflection drawing upon scriptures, history, and legend about the “character” of the day (for example, Gabriel, the Virgin Mary, the Star, the Magi, and of course the Christ Child). The text is augmented by an illustration from the author adapted from famous works of art, depicting various aspects of the Christmas story through the centuries.

Cardinal Zens Advent Reflections
$14.95Add to cartThe brave and steadfast Joseph Cardinal Zen of Hong Kong has prepared these stirring, spiritually enriching meditations to lift the souls of Catholics worldwide to God this Advent season. From his place in retirement, this Prince of the Church reaches out to the wider world to wait with him for the coming of the Messiah to redeem and to save the human race and restore mankind to a right relationship with God.
These reflections are collected from Cardinal Zen’s homilies and pastoral letters during his episcopacy in Hong Kong, a time of social and political tension. For this reason, we think that these reflections bring hope to Christians to enjoy peace and serenity.
From the Latin adventus, meaning “arrival” or “approach,” Advent is the time in which we long for the Second Coming of Christ, as the world did for thousands of years before His birth. Cardinal Zen begs the Holy Spirit to draw us into an ever-deepening Him as we await Christ’s physical return to earth – as He promised – to break the chains oppressing mankind and restore all things to Himself. In these precious pages, you will find:
*How to let the Baby Jesus give you courage and live “out of bounds” with your hope
*Three questions to ask yourself when preaching the gospel
*Your duty as a Christian to proclaim the truth from your heart
*Two things you should focus on during Advent (Do you know them?)
*Ten basic attitudes you should cultivate for your salvation (Be alert!)
*The way to experience the “excessive” love, healing, mercy, and peace of GodHis Eminence will help you appreciate the Advent and Christmas seasons as never before as you journey through the beauty of the liturgical themes with penetrating meditations. You will encounter the Holy Family and learn from their example, and you will delight in Epiphany, the “outburst” of our salvation. You will also see how the magi remind us of the reverence and worship we owe to our Eucharistic Lord and will discover the way to childlike trust and total surrender with our Blessed Mother.
Cardinal Zen’s inspired reflections will fill you with hopeful longing, joyful expectation, prayerful penance, and spiritual preparation as you look to the salvation history of the past, your present redemption being accomplished now, and the future coming of Our Lord and Savior.

Crown Of The Virgin
$19.95Add to cartIn this book, St. Ildephonsus of Toledo provides a powerful, imaginative, and lyrical set of meditations on the Immaculate Mother of God, reflecting on her splendor, beauty, and sanctity.
This publication is the first translation into English of a Latin work, entitled Libellus de Corona Virginis, or “The Little Book on the Crown of the Virgin.” Traditionally, it has been ascribed to St. Ildephonsus of Toledo, a great monk, abbot, and bishop of the 7th century. St. Ildephonsus contributed powerfully to the dissemination of the doctrine of the Perpetual Virginity of Our Lady in Western Europe, and to the popularization of fervent Marian devotion in Spain. In this beautiful, moving and ornate literary portrait, the author imaginatively and lyrically fashions a magnificent crown for the Blessed Virgin Mary, decorated with twelve radiant jewels, six brilliant stars, and six fragrant flower blossoms. Each of these is interpreted as representing a particular aspect of the beauty, beneficence, virtue, or sanctity of the Blessed Virgin.
A perfect companion for guiding daily devotion to the Mother of Mercy and the Queen of Heaven, each chapter reveals a new and scintillating glimpse into the glories of Mary, sure to inspire the heart of the reader with ever more ardent devotion to the Mother of God, the vessel of all graces and the paradigm and perfection of every virtue. As a guide to meditation and a catalyst for prayer, the Crown of the Virgin is an illuminating mirror of the beauty and splendor of the one who is herself the refulgent and immaculate image of her Divine Son.

Encountering Emmanuel : A Guided Advent Journal For Prayer And Meditation
$11.95Add to cartEmbark on a transformative journey this Advent with Heather Khym, cohost of the Abiding Together podcast, as she extends a heartfelt invitation to embrace stillness and silence amid life’s chaos, allowing God to dwell in the depths of your being. While the world moves at an ever-faster pace, Heather encourages you to pull back from the hustle and create space for our Savior to come into every area of your life–to transform and heal it through his love.
In Encountering Emmanuel, using poignant reflections and accompanying videos, Heather will gently guide you into the areas of your heart where Christ has not yet come–the areas where you’ve shut him out, the places you’ve long forgotten and ignored, or the spaces you’re ashamed to acknowledge. You’ll learn how to invite him in so that he can bring his light, love, peace, hope, and healing into your heart. From the forgotten corners to the shadowed recesses, Heather encourages you to open these spaces to the transformative power of Christ’s love.
Each day will show you a unique way God can come into your life, including the following:
*he comes in the darkness
*he comes to set us free
*he comes to awaken us from slumber
*he comes as a helpless child
*he comes as a gift to the world
*he comes as a person with a face
*he comes to be our foodGod will not force–love never does–but he asks, and we have a choice. Will you open wide your heart to the Savior and give your fiat as Mary did?
Each day you’ll journey deeper into the meaning of Advent with a meditation, stunning art specially created for this book by Josiah Henley of Heart of IESVS, reflection questions, a prayer, and journaling space.
Encountering Emmanuel is perfect for both individual and group use. Free companion videos and a downloadable leader’s guide are available at avemariapress.com.

Finding God In The Mess
$12.95Add to cartOur busy modern lives distract us and cause us stress. Technology, media, jobs, family, appointments, hobbies–it can all feel like a mess. How do we carve out time for mindful contemplation and prayer? How can we make our prayer time mindful and fruitful and perhaps even restorative? Finding God in the Mess is the perfect tool to help us learn to pause, to take time to be with God, to contemplate our lives, and to recognize God’s presence in all of it, especially the hard times.
Conflict, stress, and worry arise, but these challenges can be overcome. The spirituality of Saint Ignatius of Loyola teaches us that God holds us close, loves us, and desires the best for us at all times. This truth is a solid foundation upon which we can build our lives, find an anchor amid life’s storms, and bring us through our darkest hours.
You can use the meditations within Finding God in the Mess independently or in a parish group setting and at any point during your day.

Jesus Calling 365 Devotions For Kids

Based on her original Jesus Calling, this version has been adapted in a language and fashion that kids and tweens can relate to their everyday lives.

Others were blessed as she shared her writings, until people all over the world were using her devotionals. They are written from Jesus’ point of view, thus the title Jesus Calling. It is Sarah’s fervent prayer that our Savior may bless readers, and now young readers, with His presence and His peace in ever deeper measure.
