Candles blessed, now strike the match. Read Isaiah by the light of the flickering flame. Remember. Rest. Ready yourself.
Advent is more than a preparation for a single day of the year. It is more than a remembrance of one day long ago in Bethlehem. Advent is a time to intentionally realign our minds to the kingdom of God—to prepare our hearts to witness Jesus in Scripture, in Sacrament, and in the faces of all people. Advent is the time to listen to the Light.
What is He whispering to you this year?
Is it trust?
Compassion?
Surrender?
Humility?
Courage?
Gentleness?
Forbearance?
Remember Him.
Rest in Him.
Ready yourself. He is coming.
He is Emmanuel, God with us.
Listen.
