Poets understand economy of words. Advent is simultaneously mystery and divine revelation.The wonders of technology have created an appetite for novelty, intensity, and images that leave nothing much to the imagination.
For minds hungry but over-loaded by trivia and tedium, Advent is an invitation to renewal of wonder, imagination, and rediscovery of life's deepest resources of faith, love, peace and hope.
Welcome! all Wonders in one sight!
Eternity shut in a span.
Summer in winter, day in night,
Heaven in earth, and God in man.
Great little one! whose all-embracing birth
Lifts earth to heaven, stoops heav'n to earth
(Richard Crashaw)
