Longing for Wonder
Advent is good news because Jesus keeps arriving—here, now, in the middle of our actual lives. We steady ourselves in this reality: God with skin and bone, Eternity wrapped in humanity.
St. Augustine wrote “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.” That restlessness is familiar to us. And there’s something deeply comforting about a God who entered our restlessness and knows our longings intimately. God stands in solidarity with humanity as we ache for meaning, for beauty… for more than ourselves.
What are you longing for today? What is it like to imagine Jesus already with you in that longing?
