Apologies for the time away from the blog. I will try to be more faithful.
In these days we prepare for the great season of Advent.
"Advent is the time for rousing. We are shaken to the very depths, so that we may wake up to the truth of ourselves. The primary condition for a fruitful and rewarding Advent is renunciation, surrender. We must let go of all our mistaken dreams, our conceited poses and arrogant gestures, all the pretences with which we hope to deceive ourselves and others. if we fail to do this, stark reality may take hold of us and rouse us forcibly in a way that will entail both anxiety and suffering"
