Tell the timid to take heart.
The Lord our God will come!
Monastic Liturgy
The Advent is one of my favourite seasons of the Church year. I love it. Advent is like a roller-coaster ride. We begin this season looking towards a new age of revelation when Christ will come again in glory. The language of the liturgy is geared towards the 'end times'. There are warnings and there is consolation. We end Advent with memory - remembering the awesome way God takes flesh and lives among us.
Advent is about hope, desire, aching emptiness and sheer unsophisticated, overwhelming joy! Let us take some time in these coming weeks to be attentive to our need for God and expectant that God will meet us in our need.
