Presented by Sr. Patricia Torre, DW

December is often the busiest time of year with all the cookie baking, present buying and wrapping, decorations found, dusted off and hung. The days get shorter, the nights longer, the air colder.

Have we noticed how the night sky sparkles?

Into this busiest time of year comes Advent – the call to quiet waiting.

Advent invites us to wake up, to stay alert, to watch – to not miss the signs of the Divine’s presence among us, in us. Advent is our gift of time to stop and enter the stillness of God’s love. It is a time to surrender to the quiet longings of our hearts – and learn the art of waiting with patient expectation. We long for Emmanuel.
