Advent is the Christian church's "new year," the time when the liturgical cycle begins again, and we are encouraged to hear the stories again as if for the first time. At the same time that something new is being urged upon us, many people cling with both fondness and weariness to traditions--family and religious--that govern this time of year. This collection of reflections invites you to take just a few moments in each days of Advent to suspend doing in favor of being--to discern what newness you might find in your heart in the midst of the familiar.
