Summary
Details

Christmas is more than a date on the calendar - it is the hour when Heaven bent low, and God drew near.

The Christmas Hour invites readers into a journey of quiet prayer through Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany. With more than 180 pages of short, poetic, and deeply reflective meditations, this book helps the soul slow down, listen, and make room for Christ.

Across six rich sections - from the longing of Advent to the wonder of Bethlehem, the revelation of Epiphany, the hidden holiness of Mary and Joseph, and the birth of Christ within the soul - readers are guided gently toward peace, surrender, and renewed faith. Quotations from Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen deepen the experience, offering timeless wisdom for modern hearts.

Perfect for personal devotion, parish prayer, Adoration, or spiritual reading throughout the Christmas season, The Christmas Hour provides a single meditation for each moment of the journey - simple enough to pray in minutes, rich enough to ponder for a lifetime.

This is not a book to rush through.

It is a manger for the soul - a quiet place where Christ can be welcomed again - A treasury of contemplative reflections for prayer throughout the season

Whether used as a daily devotional, a companion for Holy Hour, or a personal retreat, The Christmas Hour draws readers closer to Jesus-the God who comes quietly, humbly, and lovingly.

As the Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen reminds us:

""Christmas is not a day, but a state of the soul when Christ is born anew in us.""

Let these pages help you welcome Him again-

in silence, in smallness, in love, and in joy.

Allan Smith is a Catholic evangelist, retreat leader, and teacher of prayer who has spent many years helping the faithful draw closer to Christ through the wisdom of Archbishop Fulton Sheen. He shares a deep love for the Holy Face, the Eucharist, and the quiet work of grace in the home.
