Advent is a time of waiting, longing, anticipating. Daybreaks by Patricia Livinston offers daily Advent meditations to help deepen our awareness of God's presence every day as we prepare for the celebration of the Christ child.  Livinston's reflections drawn from everyday experiences brim with insights into the mystery of our faith.  Let each daily reflection be a doorway into 'the Emmanuel reality - beauty, kindness, prayer, humour, insight, memory, encounter, music, Scripture.
