Today begins Advent. I thought I would share a few more resources that have come my way since my post below (click here). Perhaps one of these resources, readings, or reflections will connect with you this Advent season. I begin with a quote from Henri Nouwen that was in my inbox from the Henri Nouwen Society this morning. A good reminder to make the Word central to our Advent waiting, reflection, meditation, and prayer.
Waiting with the Word. Our waiting is always shaped by alertness to the Word. It is waiting in the knowledge that someone wants to address us. The question is, are we home? Are we at our address, ready to respond to the doorbell? We need to wait together, to keep each other at home spiritually, so that when the Word comes it can become flesh in us. That is why the Book of God is always in the midst of those who gather. We read the Word so that the Word can become flesh and have a whole new life in us.
