 Do you know, my children, why you do not have true joy? Because you lack a deep, full, strong, and lively faith.
St. Ambrose, Bishop and Doctor |
 | "Omnia Christus est nobis! If you have a wound to heal, He is the doctor; if you are parched by fever, He is the spring; if you are oppressed by injustice, He is justice; if you are in need of help, He is strength; if you fear death, He is life; if you desire Heaven, He is the way; if you are in the darkness, He is light.... Taste and see how good is the Lord: blessed is the man who hopes in Him!" |
| Advent is a season of joyful expectation, our hearts awaiting the coming of our Messiah, yet it is at the same time a purgative season by which we prepare our hearts for the coming of the Lord. We strive in ways little and large to make our hearts suitable dwellings for the King. Throughout this season He knocks at our hearts, asking admission to the house of our hearts. Dom Gueranger writes, The house indeed is His, | Prepare ye the way of the Lord! |
