"The one who has hope lives differently; the one who has hope has been granted the gift of a new life."(Pope Benedict XVI Spe Salvi, 2)

The season of Advent is a time of hope-filled anticipation for the birth of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Mary, Mother of Life, is the first one to behold the Word, listen to the Word, ponder the Word in her heart and lived differently. 

The Mother of Life Advent Journal is written to guide you through a prayerful reading of Scripture –lectio divina. By personally encountering the Word, you, too, will experience hope-filled anticipation and live differently as a joyful disciple of Christ.   

This journal Includes the Sunday gospel readings for Liturgical Year A, B and C.
