Meaningful meditations for Advent?

[atassina]

I am looking for some meaningful meditations for Advent.
I am not looking for books, stories or essays related to Christmasy feelings.

Do you know of any short essays that discuss the meaning of the Incarnation and the meaning of The Second Coming of Christ?

some help please.
PS- I suggest a cup of espresso roast with your cyber cake

The ones the come to my mind were meditations given by Bishop Baker of Irondale Alabama called “Reasons for Hope”…

It’s in both booklet form, and brief video clips. I believe they can be found on EWTN website or YouTube.

Good news. I found a link that lists all 19 talks in numerical order. This link was helpful while I was downloading the talks. Each talk is about 3 min long.

At last, a disciplined way to grow in our holy, Catholic faith. I want to grow in holiness. The requires sacrifice and self-discipline on my part. Do. Not try.
