The Christmas Hour: Meditations for Advent, Christmas and Epiphany

By Allan Smith

Enter the quiet mystery of Christmas with this prayerful collection of meditations.

The Christmas Hour is a devotional journey through the three holy seasons of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany-the sacred arc of longing, wonder, and revelation through which the Church contemplates the coming of Our Lord.

Across more than 100 meditations, Allan Smith guides readers into the stillness where Christ is born anew in the soul. Drawing from Scripture, the wisdom of the saints, and the insights of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, these reflections help you enter more deeply into the beauty of Bethlehem and the quiet grace of the Holy Family.

Inside you will discover:

- Over 100 daily meditations for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany
- Reflections on Mary, Joseph, and the Holy Family
- Insights rooted in Scripture and Catholic tradition
- Gentle invitations to silence, adoration, surrender, and wonder
- Practical ways to "prepare the manger" within your own heart
- A treasury of contemplative reflections for prayer throughout the season

Whether used as a daily devotional, a companion for Holy Hour, or a personal retreat, The Christmas Hour draws readers closer to Jesus-the God who comes quietly, humbly, and lovingly.

As the Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen reminds us:

"Christmas is not a day, but a state of the soul when Christ is born anew in us."

Let these pages help you welcome Him again-
in silence, in smallness, in love, and in joy.
