DOWNLOAD EBOOKAdvent and the new Catholic liturgical year begin on the Sunday closest to the feast of St. Andrew on November 30, which, despite what every Advent calendar thinks, is rarely on December 1. So you'll find pre-Advent prayers, and instructions for making an Advent wreath in the Catholic All November Booklet.This booklet includes everything you'll need for a prayerful Advent and beginning of the Christmas season, including the Christmas Anticipation Prayer, the Immaculate Conception Novena, weekly Advent wreath prayers, the Christmas Novena, an order for the at home blessing of a manger or nativity scene, a Christmas tree, and wine, and an At Home Nativity Play script.You'll also find prayers, devotions, Bible readings, songs, poems, and historical documents for Advent and Christmas saints including Saint Nicholas, Saint Ambrose, Saint Juan Diego, Our Lady of Loreto, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Saint Lucy, Saint John of the Cross, Saints Adam and Eve, Saint Stephen, the Holy Innocents, and the Holy Family.Also included are hymns and carols appropriate for the preparation for and celebration of the Christmas season.The month of December is dedicated to Our Lady, Immaculately Conceived, as is the United States of America. In honor of her feast day on December 8, you'll find prayers including a renewal of the consecration to the Immaculate Conception.It's a busy time of year, so be sure to choose the prayers, devotions, and activities that work for your family, schedule, season of life, and temperament. You don't have to do it all!
