Our Weekly Meditation
“Into this world, this demented inn in which there is absolutely no room for him at all, Christ comes uninvited.” – Thomas Merton
Think about it: “Uninvited.” We didn’t expect, we could never have anticipated, the arrival of God on earth. We didn’t expect, we never could have anticipated, his arrival in human form. And we didn’t expect, nor ever anticipated, his bizarre, majestic and supremely divine life and mission.
And yet the church now offers us Advent – a time to deepen our reflection, enhance our expectation, and measure our anticipation. What a glorious time.
Blessings to the entire St Andrew’s family.
