MY SINS—A TRIPTYCH.
THE LAST JUDGMENT.
This volume offers a series of quiet reflections designed to accompany the faithful through the season of Advent. Written by a devoted religious sister, the meditations draw from Scripture, liturgy and the inner movements of the heart, urging listeners to prepare a place for Christ’s coming. The tone is both gentle and urgent, reminding us that standing still widens the distance between us and the promised Light.
The book contains twenty‑eight short meditations, organized so that a reader can follow the traditional four Sundays or adjust the pace to fit a shorter or longer Advent. Each piece is paired with classic prayers and a brief collect, inviting daily use as a spiritual companion leading up to Christmas. Listeners will find encouragement to examine conscience, embrace joy, and deepen devotion to Mary and the mystery of incarnation.
