Here where we celebrate the 12 days of Christmas, it's a time of deepening reflection on the Incarnation. Advent is about preparing for the coming of Christ; but what do we do now? Now we adore, we ponder. Our crèche is the center of our worship space now. We continue to read, to gaze. What difference does it make that Christ has come? I feel my heart open in a way that is unique to this season, but how does that opening change the way I live? Is that opening enough of a breaking to shift my being?
"If we are to dwell in the tent the Son has pitched in our midst, we must enter into our own history here and now, and nourish our hope on the will to life that the poor of our continent are demonstrating" (Gustavo Gutierrez). Between the crèche and the newspaper (or the Facebook feed), where are you opening to Christ today?
Blessings in all you do and are today.
