Every year we celebrate the holy season of Advent, O God. Every year we pray those beautiful prayers of longing and waiting, and sing those lovely songs of hope and promise. Every year we roll up all our needs and yearnings and faithful expectation into one word: “Come!”
And yet, what a strange prayer this is! After all, you have already come and pitched your tent among us. You have already shared our life with its little joys, its long days of tedious routine, its bitter end.  Could we invite you to anything more than this with our “Come”?
Could you approach any nearer to us than you did when you became the “Son of Man”? In spite of all this we still pray: “Come.”   Karl Rahner


During this Advent spend a little quiet time with the Lord, sitting in His presence waiting for Him - who has already Come!  You will find the Lord in the stillness of your soul.


May God Be Praised!
