No. In fact, there is something very active about waiting. Do you recall how lively and attentive you are when you are eagerly waiting for someone to arrive? When you watch for every car that comes by when you are waiting at the airport? Every sense strains to take in what is happening. Your mind is alive with expectation; your spirit is jumping. This is what waiting means in the spiritual sense; this is the mood of Advent. Were invited to actively wait, attuned to the coming Christ, looking for him in the liturgy, the Scriptures, in prayer, and in all those around us who bear his image. In Advent were invited to active wait with our spiritual senses attuned to the coming Christ. - Father Robert Barron Like us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter View our videos on YouTube Forward this email This email was sent to [email protected] by [email protected] | Update Profile/Email Address | Rapid removal with SafeUnsubscribe™ | Privacy Policy.
