the season of advent is always a journey and an adventure.
it is UNDERSTANDING christmas. we prepare for the celebration of the coming of christ who came more than two-thousand years ago.
it is a REALIZATION that he is the emmanuel, the god-who-is-with-us, present in the lives of people who accept him in their hearts. thus, a preparation for his coming in our lives through the sacraments and in the actual blessings and healings he showers upon us.
it is a hopeful EXPECTATION of his final coming. the christ who came will be the same christ who will come again in the end of time.
then, it will be forever christmas.
LK 21:25-28, 34-36.
