9 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS JOY
— Fr. Rich Conlin
In 9 Days to Christmas Joy, Fr. Rich Conlin guides you through a simple, powerful journey:
- A nine-day Advent novena to open your heart
- An eight-day Christmas octave to receive gifts
Along the way, you'll learn how to prepare the "manger" of your heart through the Advent Straw Challenge and walk with Mary and Joseph when life feels heavy.
This is not a book to check off your devotional list. It is an invitation to encounter the living Christ, who is actively seeking you, ready to give you more than you could imagine.
With the prayers, reflections, and guided practices woven throughout this book, the journey does not end on Christmas Day. It becomes a way of life, carrying His joy into everything that follows. This book is for people of all ages, especially for families and parish communities to journey together.
Open your heart. Make room. Receive the joy that never fades.
