This is a volume of poetry by American poet Augustine Tovey.

This collection of daily reflections--a perennial favorite of Paulist Press readers--is an ideal way to prepare for Advent. Instead of being a month of increasing stress, with the help of this book Advent can be a quiet season reflection on the miracle that God has come to us, will come, and is already with us now. For each day the author includes a selection from scripture or the divine office, a brief meditation, and a prayer. Together they help the hassles and trivialities of the season fall away to reveal the real and unchanging meaning beneath.

Final yearly issue includes index of special articles. December through March issues contain reports of snow and ice conditions.

Comprised of pieces that previously appeared in such publications as The New Yorker, Playboy, and McSweeney's.
