Rejoice! Advent Meditations with the Holy Family, Journal
Rejoice! Advent Meditations with the Holy Family is a prayer resource with daily meditations that will enrich your Advent by inviting you to experience the first Advent with Joseph and Mary, as they await the birth of their son, the Savior of the world.
Together with the guided meditation videos, this journal will help you to see the marriage of Mary and Joseph in a new light. You will ponder what was in their hearts and minds as they awaited the birth of Jesus—and you will be invited to reflect on and deepen your own relationships with others. Rejoice! will help you open your heart to the peace and joy of the Holy Family as you prepare for the coming of Jesus this Christmas.
Each day, in a few short pages, Fr. Toups provides you with aids to help guide your prayer:
- A word - Focus on a single word each day to draw you deeper into the heart of the Holy Family.
- A reflection - Learn more about Joseph and Mary, their marriage, and the world in which they lived.
- A Psalm - Each day, you’re given a Psalm to pray (just as Mary and Joseph would have prayed) to help you enter into prayer.
- A reading - In reading Scripture, you find the Word of God, bringing you closer to Mary, who carried the Word in her body.
- A prompt - Space is provided each day to journal. Record how the Lord is speaking to you this Advent.

Walking with Mary and Joseph during this advent is helping me keep our marriage grounded. I'm learning how to pray for my husband and is making our relationship stronger. It is the first thing I do in the morning and it shapes the rest of my day. Thank you!
So blessed to have walked through Advent with this series. The content and accompanying videos helped deepen my understanding of the unique relationship which Mary and Joseph shared with one another in a way that no other resource has ever delved into. The artwork is stunning! Fr Mark Toups writes beautifully!
I enjoyed connecting Joseph and Mary's relationship and never considered the depth of their love for one another. It was an eye opener to think of Joseph's sacrifice in preserving Mary's purity - such Godly love. I also enjoyed bringing the bible readings into each day of Advent.
I enjoyed walking through Advent 2020 with Joseph & Mary immensely! Going through the daily reading and meditations really helped me to find out more about myself which allowed me to prepare to receive Jesus and make room for Him in my heart for Christmas, understanding better what He wanted to work on within me! Hearing Mary & Joseph’s perspective touched my heart. I will definitely be exploring this series of books from Ascension for future liturgical seasons!
What a great way to celebrate Advent! Loved this book and the weekly talks and prayers with Father Toups. Thank you!
