A Shoot from the Stock of Jesse

Father Michael Campbell OSA, offers a daily reflection based on one of the Scripture readings of the liturgy of the day.

During the season of Advent the Church sets before us a choice of Scriptural texts and antiphons to prepare us for the birthday of Christ our Savious and Messiah. The period preceding Christmas is a busy one for many people nowadays and the spiritual dimension of Advent can easily be overlooked. In this little book Fr Michael Campbell offers us a daily Advent reflection based on one of the Scripture readings of the liturgy of the day. A few minutes of quiet reflection on the Word of God each day of Advent will lead us into a deeper understanding of the mystery of the word made flesh, and so make the feast of Christmas spiritually so much more meaningful.
