Advent is that sacred season of anticipation and expectation in which we come to terms with the deepest yearning of our soul—a yearning fulfilled only in Jesus Christ. As we wait in longing for the coming of the Christ Child at Christmas, we turn over to him all the false satisfactions—the compromises—of our life. To live Advent is to live in the awareness of a Presence that changes us.

Our Advent preparation is marked by vigilance—custody of the heart, in which we keep our soul fixed on the Lord. For what we see incarnate in the infant Jesus we desire for purity, innocence, childlikeness restored. In the birth of this Child we know the promise of our own spiritual rebirth.

This rich spiritual companion will accompany you like a beloved friend through the four weeks of Advent with poignant scriptural reflections for each day of the season. You will also find a wealth of meditative prayers, essays, and poetry, an examination of conscience, and a unique the Advent Stations. If you long for the nearness of God in your life, this invaluable little booklet promises to bring you ever closer to the One who I am with you always (Mt 28:20).

good companion during the Advent season

I was looking for a way to prepare myself spiritually for the coming of our award at Christmas. I have always found the magnificent during lent and excellent preparation so I decided to try the one for that this year. I found it very useful. The meditations daily brought me closer to the Lord. I recommend the magnificent series to any catholic who wants to deep in their spiritual life.

A yearly Advent devotional including daily meditations from numerous Magnificat contributors, Scripture readings, and daily prayers. The Advent Companion includes Blessings of Advent Wreath, Christmas Tree, Christmas Stable, praying the O Antiphons and Advent Stations. An ideal supplement to prepare for the Birth of the Christ child.

I absolutely LOVED this prayer book. I'm tempted to keep it by m bedside to pray it throughout the year. Received it at a beautiful little chapel over Thanksgiving Break and am so grateful for this gift. Hope to obtain a new copy every Advent.going forward. Can not recommend this enough, for Catholics and non Catholics alike.

“2025 Magnificat Advent Companion” is another “outstanding” spiritual guide, I use annually, for my Lent journey to Christmas and the celebration of the birth of our Lord. I also highly recommend this annual spiritual guide along with the Magnificat “Lent” spiritual companion for your Lent journey to Easter and the celebration of the resurrection of our Lord. (Experienced as a KINDLE book)

I really enjoy the daily devotional reflections, along with the Advent Stations and Blessings included in the book. They are short enough that I can pick a theme from the reflection and spend a few minutes contemplating each day of the busy season. Definitely a go to every year.
