Advent Awakenings prompts participants to accept the invitation of Jesus' coming by reflecting on how to be more open to his presence in their lives. The Advent Awakenings series is based on the three-year cycle of the Lectionary containing four sessions corresponding with the four Sundays of Advent and presents themes drawn from the Sunday gospel readings, plus enriching devotions for family use. Appropriate for seasonal groups, small Christian communities, and individual reflection and prayer.
