Advent with the Saints: A Daily Devotional

A daily Catholic Advent devotional to help you slow down, pray more deeply, and prepare your heart for Christmas.

If Advent feels rushed or overly busy, Advent with the Saints: A Daily Devotional offers a more intentional way to live the season. Written by Franciscan friar Fr. Greg Friedman, OFM, this devotional combines daily reflections on the Mass readings with scripture, wisdom from the saints, and accessible spiritual practices.

Journey through Advent alongside biblical figures such as Isaiah, St. John the Baptist, and Mary, and beloved saints including St. Nicholas, St. Lucy, St. Juan Diego, and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.

Features include:

• Daily reflections rooted in the Mass readings
• Simple spiritual practices and opportunities for prayer
• Insights from scripture, the saints, and the Church’s liturgical tradition
• Reflections for every possible day of Advent across all three liturgical cycles
• Additional reflections for the Octave of Christmas (December 25–January 1)

Designed for use year after year, this devotional is ideal for personal prayer, small groups, parish programs, Catholic schools, and Advent gift-giving.

Advent with the Saints helps readers move beyond the busyness of the season and prepare to welcome Christ with greater intention and a more prayerful heart.
