You have, my heart, already chosen the joy of Advent. As a force against your own uncertainty, tell yourself, ‘It is the Advent of the great God.’ Say this with faith and love, and then both the past of your life, which had become holy, and your life’s eternal, boundless future will draw together in the now of this world. For then into the heart comes the one who is Advent, the boundless future who is already in the process of coming, the Lord, who has already come into the time of the flesh to redeem it. Karl Rahner THE ANGELUS V/. The Angel of the Lord declared to Mary. R/. And she conceived by the Holy Spirit Hail Mary… V/. Behold the handmaid of the Lord. R/. Be it done unto me according to Thy word. Hail Mary… V/. The Word was made flesh. R/. And dwelt among us. Hail Mary… V/. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. R/. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray. Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ Thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by His passion and cross be brought to the glory of His resurrection, through the same Christ our
Lord. Amen. |
