With St. Teresa of Calcutta\u2019s recent canonization, timely indeed.<\/p>\n<p>This devotional is similar to many <em>daily\u2019s<\/em>. An introductory snippet of scripture, a mediation for the day, a moment to reflect, and a closing prayer. The meditation is centered around an aspect of St. Teresa\u2019s history, quotes, or both. I found the mediations worthwhile considering they are limited to a page or page and a half.<\/p>\n<p>The number of days in Advent changes each year as to how much of a full four weeks of Advent there are in relation to Christmas. This book is able to cover a full four weeks along with Feast Days and Solemnities that occur. So it is pretty easy to follow.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Caveat: Review copy provider by publisher.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just in time for Advent is Advent with Saint Teresa of Calcutta: Daily Meditations by Heidi Hess Saxton.
