Reflection for November 30, 2011




Jesus said to his disciples: "Be watchful! Be alert!"


We are called to consciousness, especially in this
dark time of year, to enter into a great mystery.
As fellow pilgrims, we accompany one another
on this journey called Advent. Paradoxically,
Christ is with us, yet is to come again. This isn't
simply an ancient event. It can happen now.
So we begin, nourished by scripture,
sensing the Light, moving toward
a holy birth and the renewal of hope.
