| Summary | "Ortus Christi: Meditations for Advent" by Mother St. Paul is a collection of spiritual meditations intended for the Advent season, likely written in the early 20th century. This work invites readers to reflect on the significance of Christ's coming and the spiritual preparation needed for the Christmas season. It emphasizes themes of hope, prayer, and the importance of self-reflection and reforming one’s life in anticipation of the Divine. At the start of the book, the author introduces the concept of Advent as a time of expectation and longing for Christ. The opening meditation emphasizes the "Rising of Christ" as a central theme, encouraging the faithful to lift their souls in hope and readiness for His arrival. Through various points, Mother St. Paul reflects on the Church's liturgical practices during this season, the transformative power of grace, and the notion of believers participating in the life of God through their actions and intentions. The meditations serve as a call to awaken one's spiritual life, urging readers to recognize the privilege of being a dwelling place for God and to engage actively in the preparation for the coming of Christ.
