by Alban Goodier (Author)
Archbishop Alban Goodier created this series of meditations from the events of the nativity and Christ's early life, with each designed to be read within just a few minutes.
Useful as a means of administering a daily spiritual reflection, this book contains a total of sixty spiritual meditations, divided into two parts. Topics include the nativity of Jesus, and the character of Mary, Mother of God. Important events such as the visitation of the Magi to the home of Jesus, and the appearance of the Star in the East, also receive commentary. The author's idea with this work is to raise the reader's soul, that it be closer in mind and heart to the essence of God.
Although Alban Goodier served for a time in the hierarchy of the church, including as Archbishop of Bombay, he was most at home with writing and publishing religious books. He sought a life of simplicity, immersed in scholarly topics, and assembled a series of influential manuals of faith thereby. To this day, readers value his efforts by reading the various chronicles he published in the early 20th century.
