The Lord is coming, always coming.  When you have ears to hear and eyes to see, you will recognize Him at any moment of your life.  Life is Advent; life is recognizing the coming of the Lord.

From Isaiah 9:6:  “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep deep darkness—on them light has shined.”

Henri Nouwen (1932-1996) was a Dutch priest, professor, writer, and theologian.
