The Little Way of Advent: Meditations in the Spirit of St. Thérèse of Lisieux

by Gary Caster

The Little Way of Advent follows a format similar to The Little Way of Lent . Following the Advent and Christmas season daily Scripture readings, Fr. Caster provides an inspirational reflection for each day and a quote from St. Thérèse that helps to shed light on the reflection. Because the book is not dated, it can be used in any year. The author provides a reflection for each Sunday in the A, B, and C cycle, one for every weekday in Advent and, as an additional feature, one for every day in the Christmas season. The Little Way of Advent focuses on St. Thérèse’s Little Way, as well as her deep insights into the Child Jesus and the Holy Face. Fr. Caster shows the connection between the innocent child and the crucified Savior, thus providing for a rich Advent experience.

Father Castor discusses the scripture readings for the Advent season from all cycles to provide meaning and meditation. A good religious read for Catholic and non-Catholic alike. It is written in a manner that renders it easy to fathom even for the young.

I'm a little disappointed that more of St Therese's words and life were not included.

A great Advent Study that has little tidbits from St Thérèse of Lisieux mixed in. This study is unique because each day you read short reflection on the daily readings, making it easy to keep up with and not get behind. Starts at the beginning of Advent and goes until the Baptism of the Lord. It's also unique in that it has all 3 cycles readings so you can do this Advent Study each year if wanted!
