Description

Rejoice! Advent Meditations with Joseph 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 calls you daily to see through Joseph’s eyes, feel what is in Joseph’s heart, and read the Scripture that Joseph read, so you can fully prepare to welcome Jesus into your heart 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 out the details, the specifics of who Joseph is.
    • A reflection - Learn more about Joseph, the culture in which he was raised, and the world in which he lived.
    • A Psalm - Each day, you’re given a Psalm to pray (just as Joseph himself would have prayed) to help you enter into prayer.
    • A reading - In reading Scripture, you'll enter into the story of the first Advent, and walk beside Joseph.
    • A prompt - Space is provided each day to journal. Record how the Lord is speaking to you this Advent.

You can watch Fr. Toups' guided mediation videos for free on the Ascension app.

Invitation to think about Joseph

This book was wonderful and through these meditations I fell in love with St Joseph. I wish I had has this book a long time ago so as to have had a longer time to grow in relationship with our spiritual father. St Joseph, pray for us!

Beautiful

Last year I did the guide with Mary, so I was excited to do this one on St. Joseph (especially since I’ve developed a greater bond with him in the past year). After a tumultuous year not only in the world but personally, it felt comforting every night to open and really immerse myself into this book.

The Bible readings are short but concise, the reflection contemplative, and I appreciate the journaling aspect a lot. The guided visualizations are breathtaking and really helped to put my mindset into the Christmas story like I haven’t before.

AND the fact Pope Francis declared this as the year of Saint Joseph?! No coincidence there. I’m so excited for next Advent to do the guide with the Holy Family. These books have become a highlight of my Advent; a new tradition I look forward to continuing for years to come.

Excellent

I absolutely loved this advent book, I loved being able to see advent through Joseph's eyes in a way I never thought of. Truly beautiful and the weekly videos that accompanied really helped to pray through visualization.

Great Meditation

Very thoughtful and a great way to pray with the Psalms. However, I agree that it does have a lot of typos and grammatical errors. I'm actually surprised. It doesn't take away from the beautiful message, but is a little distracting.

Great meditations.

So far, I love this book. It does have many thought provoking meditations, and I love visiting the Psalms in the eyes of Joseph. However, as another reader stated, there are many grammatical errors and typos. I'm a little surprised that it got published this way. It doesn't take away from the message that God wants us to hear, just a little distracting.

This has got to be the most powerful Advent reflection I have come across! Father Toups needs to write more books!

Great content, poor editing

Last year I used Advent Meditations with Mary and loved it! So far I’m really enjoying the content of this book. However, there are grammar errors or areas where more thorough editing would have been helpful. I’m not an English expert, but the errors do detract from the flow of the material.
