After the Schott for the Holy Week and Easter, there is now a reliable companion for the liturgically rich Advent and Christmas season. In addition to the proven Schott structure with the texts for the Eucharistic celebrations of all Sundays and feast days from the First Advent to the Baptism of Jesus, this book offers a wealth of additional texts, impulses, and devotions to deepen the experience of this special time—whether alone, with family, or in groups. It serves as a practical aid for those who plan services, as well as a helpful companion for everyone who wishes to consciously participate in the liturgy of these days. The new Schott for the Advent and Christmas season includes not only familiar material but also entirely new content: the original texts from the authentic edition of the Missal and the Lectionary (from the First Advent Sunday to the Baptism of the Lord) with introductions by the Benedictines of the Abbey of Beuron, the celebration of the community Mass, a detailed introduction to the liturgy of the Advent and Christmas season by Dr. Stephan Wahle (Professor of Liturgical Studies, Freiburg), relevant intercessions, four home prayers during Advent, Rorate Mass, short meditations on the O Antiphons, a nativity devotion, the Martyrology for December 25 with an introduction, Vespers for December 25 from the Book of Hours, reflections for the New Year, a devotion for the Epiphany, a devotion for the remembrance of baptism, and all response psalms arranged for singing.
