A Reflection on the meaning of Advent
“When I think of Advent I think of the renewed call to vigilance and waiting in patient anticipation. I hear the scriptures and the words of the prophets calling me to keep looking, eyes wide open to see the Lord when he comes. And, sometimes he comes in disguise. He came in Jesus born as a little child among poor parents in a barn of animals. Who would have guessed? Now, he shows his face to us in the little ones of our world. He shows his face to us in the unborn child in the womb, but also in the child born into poverty and in a place that is torn by violence and war. He shows his face to us in the old man or old woman who is forgotten in the nursing home. He shows his face to us in unexpected ways and in unexpected times. We have to be awake and vigilant. We don't want to miss him when he comes.”
-- Fr. Timothy Luschen, pastor, Saint Charles Borromeo, OKC
