Fr. Dr. Maurice Nkem Emelu, Ph.D., Discusses Daily Advent Devotionals with 'An Encounter: A Daily Discovery in Divine Word, Volume 1.'
Fr. Dr. Maurice Nkem Emelu, Ph.D., an Assistant Professor of digital media and communication at John Carroll University discusses daily Advent devotional companion, 'An Encounter: A Daily Discovery in Divine Word, Volume 1.'
Originally from West Africa, Fr. Maurice Nkem Emelu, Ph.D. has written a companion guide for Catholic daily devotionals during the Advent Season as we lead into Christmas and the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
During these struggling times that the world has been facing the last two years, it was appropriate to speak with Fr. Maurice even for our secular audience that at least hope could be spread during this Advent Season.
Myself being the son of Eastern Orthodox Christian immigrants and Fr. Maurice being an immigrant himself have a different understanding of Christianity in the Old World in comparison to the New World where the lines of politics and religious are often blurred.
Through his latest book 'An Encounter: A Daily Discovery in Divine Word, Volume 1', Fr. Maurice takes us through daily reflections through the Roman Catholic prayers and helps us reflect on our lives in regards to the world around us.
From the day after Thanksgiving all the way through Christmas, the Western World is so engulfed in the perfect image of the holidays and finding the ideal hot ticket item gift that we do not stop to reflect on life, family (for quite a few of us) faith, hope and most importantly loving our neighbor.
This conversation about Advent with Fr. Maurice Nkem Emelu also helped me slow down during our conversation and pay attention to various details of his devotional companion guide.
Fr. Maurice also gives us and everyone a blessing at the end of the interview this Holiday season.
