When time permits only one,
brief prayer a day

Don't be worried or anxious. 
 
These resources are simple and friendly.  We won't need to rush out and get an Advent wreath if we don't have one.  We won't need to make our family recite prayers that don't seem to fit where we are.  We don't even need to have a family.

These reflections are for adults.

They are prepared, however, to draw children in.  They are resources to help us adults with the un-named anticipation or longing in our hearts.  They allow us to enter into the experience of our darkness and therefore to give glory to God for the Light.

Daily Prayer and Resources along the way.

Each week of Advent will have a series of Daily Prayers that are designed to be used by individuals or families or groups. Read this Guide to Daily Advent Prayer.

Keep checking the Site Index frequently for many resources. And, let's pray for each other, a community of anticipation and hope around the world.
