Once again, let us kneel down and pray for keen eyes capable of seeing God's messengers of annunciation, for vigilant hearts wise enough to perceive the words of the promise. The world is more than its burden, and life is more than the sum of its gray days. The golden threads of the genuine reality are already shining through everywhere. Let us know this, and let us, ourselves, be comforting messengers. Hope grows through the one who is himself a person of the hope and the promise. ~Alfred Delp, S.J. in Advent of the HeartDear Mary, Virgin of Advent, pray for us to have keen eyes and vigilant hearts. We want to welcome God's messengers of annunciation as you welcomed the Angel Gabriel. And we want to comfort others as you comfort us with the gift of your Divine Child. Amen.
P.S. Living Bulwark has seven selections written by Fr. Delp beginning with "Joy in the Face of Death." They are listed near the end of the right frame.
