The Living Gospel series of prayer books for Lent and Advent offer practical insight and spiritual wisdom from popular Catholic preachers and homilists. A new voice each season and the popular five-step format help Catholics pray, join their lives to the living Word of God, and take small steps toward spiritual growth each day. In Daily Devotions for Advent 2015, Sr. Theresa Rickard, O.P., president and executive director of the organisation, brings her diverse ministry experience, theological training, and the Dominican charism of preaching to these seasonal devotions. Each day offers a simple, five-step blueprint with brief gospel verses, prayers, incisive reflection on the Word of God, and a specific challenge for ongoing spiritual growth.
