The Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him.” Habakkuk 2:20
We
are in the last days of Advent, which means Christmas is close, and hence the
demand on our time can cause a frenetic toll on our well-being: physically,
emotionally and spiritually.
In these last days it is important to carve out time and space to go into a silence with the Lord, even if only for short periods. By doing this, we can discover a deepening loving communion with our God, as he fills us with the graces given during these very holy days. Days which should continue even after the tree and decorations have been put away. Remember the carol- "The Twelve days of Christmas"? These days are after the feast, not before.
May our resting in the silence this Advent as we joyfully anticipate the coming of the Child at Christmas, find us rejoicing each day, in the loving, merciful gift of the Father, in His only Son.
