God’s intervening into human history came about with an almost frightening quietness and self-effacement, and ... he will come again with the same silence and the same devastating humility into any heart ready to receive him.
---J. B. Phillips
The most wonderful time, indeed.
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year” as some popular lyrics go, and a lot of us agree. Andy Williams made the tune famous, but composers Eddie Pola and George Wyle wrote it. Pola and Wyle were Jewish. Yet they assisted Williams in earning the title “Mr. Christmas” with their composition. The song celebrates holiday parties, caroling, mistletoe, good cheer, and loved ones near. But for believers, the season beginning today is really about anticipation and Incarnation, light illuminating the darkness, and God coming near. We know what time it is. Make this advent a genuine celebration of hope.
For Monday – Time to get ready!
With the Thanksgiving holiday weekend wrapped up, Catholics yesterday began the Advent journey to Christmas. The word advent comes from Latin for “to come.” All the days from now until the celebration of the birth of Jesus are preparation for his coming. Preparation in this case means remembering to be ready with a spirit of both penance and joy. Did you set out an Advent wreath on your dinner table yesterday? For many, it’s the first of many Christmas decorations to come out – with festooned trees not far behind. The wreath is more than just a pretty adornment but also a daily reminder to pray as you count down each week with a new candle. Start the season out right by blessing your wreath with a prayer.
