Advent day 17 - 15 December 2009

greetings!

Henri Nouwen on the WAITING that characterizes Advent: "It is not a passive waiting, it is very active...Right here is the secret for us about waiting. If we wait in the conviction that a seed has been planted and that something has already begun, it changes the way we wait. Active waiting implies being fully present to the moment with the conviction that something is happening where we are and that we want to be present to it. A waiting person is someone who is present to the moment, believing that this moment is THE moment..."

how well do we WAIT???

how present are we in THE moment???

do we actually encounter Jesus in our waiting???

shalom...
