Thursday’s Healing Moment

‭‭

In our time, what is lacking is not so much the courage to ask this question as the courage to expect an answer. . .

‭‭We may at times be able to show the world Christ in moments when all can clearly discern in history, some confirmation of the Christian message. But the fact remains that our task is to seek and find Christ in our world as it is, and not as it might be.

‭‭The fact that the world is other than it might be does not alter the truth that Christ is present in it and that His plan has been neither frustrated nor changed: indeed, all will be done according to His will. Our Advent is a celebration of this hope.
