Prepare for Christmas like a Saint Did you know Advent was Padre Pio's favorite season? There was little he loved more than preparing for the coming of the infant Jesus. In fact, many of his capuchin brothers claimed they would see him at night walking the halls miraculously cradling the Christ child and kissing him. To help you celebrate Advent like a Saint, we have curated a short list of books that are perfect for helping you prepare your heart for Christmas. In Welcoming the Christ Child with Padre Pio, stories about the saint known for his mystical abilities are woven with scripture and prayer to help you experience Advent with greater hope and joy. In the book, each day of Advent includes a quotation from Padre Pio, a short story about the saint from someone who knew him, a scripture reflection, and prayer to help you follow his extraordinary example. Next, we have a book of Advent reflections from Cardinal Zen of Hong Kong to the suffering Church in China. Appropriate to our current time and struggles, the reflections are pulled from Cardinal Zen's homilies and letters to the people under his care. Throughout moments of great suffering and upheaval, he eloquently encourages the faithful to hold fast to the hope of the coming of Jesus showing them how to let go of fear and be saints here and now. Join Saint Padre Pio or the suffering Church in China this Advent and learn to truly be a saint! Welcoming the Christ Child sold out within days and is now back in stock again. Both books will sell out quickly. Order your copy today to ensure you have it for Advent. God bless you! The Catholic.Store Team |
