The Living Gospel 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 five-step format help Catholics pray, join their lives to the living Word of God, and take small steps toward spiritual growth each day. Written by Fr. Brendan McGuire, pastor of Holy Spirit Parish in San Jose, California, these daily Advent devotions offer a simple outline for prayer, reflection, and spiritual growth. A pastor, popular homilist, workshop presenter, and podcaster, McGuire weaves the spiritual longings of ordinary Catholics into the larger story of Advent and our call to welcome Christ into our hearts and homes.
