Description

Along with scripture readings and prayers, this book offers four weeks of meditations that focus on the growth of Jesus in the womb of Mary.

Mark Bozzutti-Jones offers a unique perspective on the season of Advent. He provides four weeks of meditations that focus on the growth of Jesus in the womb of Mary as he approaches the day of his birth, learns his mother's voice, responds to the presence of light and dark, and begins to position himself for birth.

What does this teach us about our own spiritual journey through Advent Waiting and preparation is essential to the Christian life. By reflecting on our own birth experiences and Jesus' own progress through the womb, Christians can learn how to remain intimate with God, how to approach the light, and how to get ready for new birth in Christ.

The Womb of Advent guides the reader through each day with a mantra, scripture reading, and questions to focus our meditation. Each session ends with a spiritual exercise.
