As Rejoice! Finding Your Place in the Advent Story follows the four weeks of Advent, it will help us appreciate the places, people, and events that complement the story of the very first Advent.

  • In week one, we will explore several places in the Holy Land and what they teach us about the environment in which Mary and Joseph lived.
  • In week two, we will come to appreciate several people who were preparing for the birth of the Messiah while Mary and Joseph were preparing for the birth of their son.
  • In week three, we will look at the events that shaped the circumstances of Jesus’ birth.
  • In week four, we will enter into imaginative prayer to personally experience the final preparations for Christ’s birth.

We pray that in deepening our appreciation of the places, people, and events of the very first Advent, we can encounter the Lord in our own lives and hearts during Advent this year. Enjoy Advent. Enjoy the journey. Enjoy the places, people, and events that shaped the story of the very first Advent and shape our own lives now.

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 out the details of the Advent story.
    • A reflection - Learn more about the people, places, and events of the first Advent and how they influenced Christ.
    • A Psalm - Each day, you’re given a Psalm to pray to help you enter into prayer.
    • A prompt - Space is provided each day to journal. Record how the Lord is speaking to you this Advent.

Rejoice! Finding your place in the Advent Story

I did this with a small group of friends. I thought it was excellent and will recommend it to the director of religious education for the parish in 2022.

Rejoice! Matters!!

Each year I have ordered 10 of the books and shared with friends. Mostly Catholics. A couple Christians. A couple in Recovery. This series has made the journey so personal, so touched by Mary and Joseph and Jesus. It keeps the materialistic focus at bay and keeps God front and center daily. Thank you. I love the tools Ascension provides to even us non Catholics!

Myself and students enjoyed

I used this as part of our advent reflections with my 8th grade students this year. Everyone really enjoyed using these. The quiet it brought to my classroom, was totally a God quiet, not a sleeping quiet. I have used the video's in the past on Monday's, but this was the first year I used the reflections daily with my students. The pictures also made a beautiful focus for each week of advent on my prayer table.

Inspirational

I have purchased the Advent Rejoice for the past three years. And each year it only gets better! I am motivated and glad to read, reflect, pray, while I read each day of the 2021 Advent and Christmas season. During Advent I want to get closer to my Catholic roots/faith and you helped me do this. I sent one copy to a Sister in Christ who I met at the ACTS retreat and we have become Catholic, "besties." The other one I sent to my catechumen who I am sponsoring in RCIA. This year I feel as if I went spiritually deeper in my faith this Advent The fourth week was the best! I was able to imagine in my mind and was transported into each of the places. I was in the scene. I was apart of the scene. It was wonderful. Thank you for providing the Rejoice series for Lent and Advent. Blessing to your staff, especially Fr. Mark Toups.

So Good!!

The Rejoice this year was so good!! I would highly recommend it. In prayerfully reading it each day, I was able to visualize Mary, Joseph, Elizabeth and others as well as the places in the Christmas narrative. So touching; so moving; so thought provoking!!
