"We start a new liturgical year by entering this complex season of mystery. We turn once again to the beginning of the great Story but with its glorious end very much in mind. With ancient Israel, we long for the one who will come to set us free. We try to get ready. We watch for his arrival with expectancy. We let hope gestate within us. Something good is happening to us and to our world. The days are dark but the light is growing. Sometimes we sing, sometimes we groan. We resist the cultural frenzy with chosen restraint and moments of retreat. That’s how we remain alert, how we stay open to God’s presence. We wait for Christ to come, and in our waiting, we are enlarged."
