take just one minute a day to read and ponder the appropriate preface — personally praying the first preface during the first part of Advent and the second preface during the second part of Advent.

That's a good idea, although the daily lectionary is so full of spiritual content that the prayers the Friar mentions are just an instant summary!

I did a lesson on Advent yesterday with my 1st Grade class, and the children took home a card with symbols for the "0 Antiphons," to remind them that it's not Christmas yet!

**symbols for the “0 Antiphons,” to remind them that it’s not Christmas yet!**

What a great idea.
