Summary: Advent preparation tied to the official liturgies of the day
Review: Hasten the Kingdom is a book for the last few days of Advent when the antiphons for the Magnificat of Evening Prayer are the "O antiphons". While the antiphons may not be known to you as "O antiphons" you're sure to know them as the verses to "O come, O come Emmanuel". The format for each day (beginning on December 16) is a musical version of the O antiphon, an open prayer, Scriptural readings, the Magnificat surrounded by the antiphon, the Lord's Prayer, a meditation and a closing prayer.The entire reflection is long for family use where there are young children. For adults, individually or communally, this is a solid form of Christmas preparation, of hopefilled waiting.
