Anonymous - Meditations for Advent and Easter

'Oh, what a holy, beautiful, peaceful light is the light of the Infant Heart of Jesus! How it longs to come forth and manifest itself to all, to console, to instruct, to illuminate! Are we, also, longing to receive this light? Are we praying with our whole hearts that it may come to us, and that we may be prepared to receive it? However great our spiritual enlightenment may be, we are still, in some measure, "sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death." But the light is coming; already we can see the dawn upon the mountain. When Mary was born, the first ray of light tinged the eastern sky; when Jesus was born, the light of this mystic moon was as the light of the true sun, because of her perfect union with Him; and the light of the sun was sevenfold, as the light of seven days. The light was sevenfold; that is, the light was perfect, for it was the light of God.'

A reminder we have these meditations so appropriate for this season.

Thank you.  Please have patience with my worries about how much text I download and where it goes.  There are (or were in 2017) six groups of meditation documents in saintsprayers\meditations.  #3 was meditations for Advent, Christmas, and Easter, which started with How to Mediate followed by eleven documents.  I think it was from this that I was able to copy Instructions on Meditation from a book Meditations for Advent and Easter published in 1865 by the Poor Claire's convent in Derry, which I highly recommend to all.
Since I can frequently access these meditations without downloading (or I think without adding more in my chaotic storage system), I wonder how much would be added if I use the above download link (in prior post) and if it is from the Poor Clare book?

Yes it's from the Poor Clare book. The meditations on Saints' Prayers are only a selection of a small portion of the book, so the download would give you the entire book. 

The book downloads in 'PDF' format which is a document type file most computers and phones can read, it's about 5 megabytes, so any modern cell phone should not have a problem downloading it given how much information is downloaded normally.
