In the monthly booklet, Give Us This Day, produced by the Benedictine publisher Liturgical Press, each day's prayers include a short reflection by a noted author. This month an excerpt by Erie Benedictine Sister Joan Chittister from her book, The Liturgical Year, the spiraling adventure of the spiritual life, will appear on November 29, the vigil of the First Sunday of Advent, the beginning of the Church's liturgical year.
This is the first time an excerpt from The Liturgical Year has appeared in Give Us This Day. Sister Joan's book is a contemporary commentary on the seasons, feasts, and celebrations that form the Christian year.
