Amidst the twinkling lights of the Holiday Season around us, we of faith, are invited to Advent. Four weeks of expectant waiting for the Coming of Christ. Quiet…waiting… anticipation… curiosity… We step into the tension between what we know and what we do not yet know –
We begin to make room to be present with open hearts.
Divine mystery awaits!
We invite you to let the words, images and music make space within you for possibility…

In his last editorial in The Bible Today, Fr. Don Senior wrote:”While I was preparing this issue for its deadline I experienced a very serious heart attack of which I had no anticipation. It disrupted our production of this issue, hopefully without much inconvenience to our readers….Experiencing a serious crisis of health can also have an impact on one’s realization of the beauty of life and the world around us….this experience helps me think about the full meaning of Advent and the arrival of the exultant Christ in a way I never experienced before.”
And, now, Don has eternity to experience the fullness of God’s love now.
The contemporary “picture” of our planet ecologically, humanely, and existentially appears very challenging to alter and change. That is why our Redeemer is born into the world that God has created. To work with and inspire us to bring about the changes God intends for the dredemption of the world…biosphere and all.
I pray that your Advent will be an experience that you have never had before. That begins with our intention to enter more fully into the Will and Ways of God within each of us. That is where the transformation begins.
Peace of Christ be with all of you.
