Advent is the Church’s way of observing and remembering, of marking the truth we believe that God came to be with us once, and God is still with us, and God is coming again to set all things right. During these weeks, Christians all around the world – in churches and in homes, in refugee camps and on the streets, alone or together – light candles for Advent. Guided by the Carmelite themes of Waiting, Accepting, Journeying, and Birthing, this devotional offers readers prayers, scripture, essays, and reflection questions for each candle of Advent as we journey towards Christmas. It is only available at sarahbessey.com/shop.
