Advent is the season which brings hope into our hearts. As Pauline
missionaries, we look forward with deeper trust and greater expectations as we
prepare to celebrate once again God becoming human among us, that is, the birth
of Jesus. Surely the fact that God has chosen to be so intimately connected
with us assures us that we and all that God has created are precious. Indeed
this gives us reason for hopefulness.
Our hope does not however leave us passively waiting for God to act, to
make everything right. God has chosen by being so closely connected with us, to
give us a role and responsibility as co-creators, as active participants in the
unfolding life of our world, in the missionary place where He has placed each
of us.
Advent is a time for awe, wonder and gratitude for what God invites us to
and anticipation of all that is possible. It is a time to ponder our part in
this divine and human relationship, to consider how we as Pauline missionaries,
can be active in bringing about all that God offers and for which we live in
hope.
To everyone, may you all have fruitful days during this Advent season towards the joyful birth of Jesus!
