First Sunday of Advent
"Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come."
--Mark 13: 33
"God is likely to come into our presence at just about any moment, and we do well to be watchful for such moments. God in each person we live and work with. God in each stranger we pass on the street. God in the earth and the cosmos we so often take for granted. God in a crowded theater and in the privacy of your own home. Be watchful, be ready. Cultivate eyes ready to see God in any and all places, any and all circumstances...Overwhelming grace when you least expect it."
--Mitch Finley
Thus begins Advent, the season on watching, of expectation, the season of contemplation.
