I'm going to let our beloved abbot Gueranger lead us into Advent.
'The whole world is in expectation of its Redeemer; come, der Jesus, show Thyself to it by granting it salvation. The Church, Thy bride, is now commencing another year, and her first word is to Thee, a word which she speaks in the anxious solicitude of a mother for the safety of her children; she cried out to Thee, saying: "Come!" No, we will go no farther in our journey through the desert of this life without Thee, O Jesus! Time is passing quickly away from us; our day is perhaps far spent, and the shades of our life's night are coming on; arise, O divine Sun of justice. Come! guide our steps and save us from eternal death.'
I just got a new laptop, and so it will probably take me awhile to figure out how to get any of my old pictures onto the postings. Please bear with me.
